perrin Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 (edited) Poor Georgie ran face first (literally) into our steps about 2 weeks ago and shortly after a lump appeared. Has anyone had any experience with something similar? She will be going in on Friday to be speyed and the vet is going to i guess cut it out for testing if he thinks it is something sinister whilst she is under. I would have thought that two weeks would be long enough for any bruising to disapear if it was indeed from the accident.

LizT Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I have a horse that had a lump appear on his nose suddenly, after checking him over the vet wanted to do a biopsy and/X-ray and gave him some anti-inflammatories and said to wait a few days. On closer inspection it was found that he'd lost a shoe hooning in the paddock, the shoe had struck him in the face, broke a tooth off and that's why he had a lump. It took quite a while to disappear altogether but did go away completely within two months. Since you fellow did run into the wall, (sounds like a haemetoma) I don't think it's likely to be anything sinister that would need cutting out but it's good your vet can have a closer look at it. Sure it'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perrin Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 I forgot to come and give an update! Too much excitement going on at our house. The vet did a fine needle aspiration on her nose and declared it a lump that had hardened into a cyst. I must admit i was getting a bit paranoid (even though i saw her run into the step so knew what it was from) because i had recently had to pts our old horse because of re-curring cancer. But the vet said it should be fine and will check when i take her back to get her stitches out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
