We had a yearling colt develop a sarcoid about an inch above his fetlock on the rear hind leg. I tended to it for about 2 1/2 months with various remedies, from caustic powders and creams, banding it and then twice freezing. Nothing worked, it came back a bit larger each time. We finally had it surgically removed and a chemo agent was injected. That was 1 1/2 years ago and it has not returned. We were concerned because of the area it was growing, so near the joint. The surgeon said inside it grows in "finger" type growth what you see on the outside is not what is happening inside. He put the colt down for the surgery, to allow them to get it all and he was in a cast for a few weeks. The colt is 100% sound, no blemish, no scar tissue problems. This worked for us.
