I just found out that my 9yr old TB possibly has Lympho Sarcoma. The vet was out to see him this am and is 95% sure that is what it is. He has been fine up until last Wed, he went off his grain and was just dull. Gave him some banamine and he was fine. Saturday he went off his grain but again seemed better with banamine. Sunday again off grain gave banamine, but this time no better. Gave hime some alfalfa which he picked at but then seemed to have trouble swallowing it. Upon further inspection of him, found his chest and between his front legs extremely swollen. There are no signs of trauma anywhere and he isn't painful in that area. This morning he has a squeeky cough. My vet feels that it is effecting the lymphnodes near his trachia (sp?). He has pulled blood and will know definately in the morning. He has only seen this in large horses, draft and draft crosses, my horse is a big 18H TB. Has anyone had experience with this? My vet said it isn't treatable. I did some research on it and I found some herbal remedies. I am pretty much lost right now and I guess you could say in shock
