Hi,
I am asking this question on behalf of a friend that has 2 rescue horses that live on our property.
Ted is a rescue that our friends,had brought in on Christmas Eve, he is around 2 years old. A week or so after he he arrived here they had noticed a large lump on the side of his face.
He was gelded on the 11th of Jan, and they asked the vet to have a look and he said it could be an ulcer that's not drained properly but has healed and has become a hard lump, or it could be a sarcoid and in that case we should keep a close eye on it if it grows or multiplies he will need treatment.
A few days ago Tenae (Ted's owner) had noticed one of his front teeth were sticking out a fair bit, and she can't recall it being like that beforehand.
Is this common in young horses for their teeth to grow wonky or could it be related to the lump on the side of his face? Is there any way to correct it?
Here are a few photos, its a little hard to see in photos, but its one of his 2 fronts.
And this is the lump on his cheek.
