Welcome to The Equine Vet Connect Podcast! Our goal is to bring you factual, in-depth information of the happenings in the equine veterinary industry and help break it down to be easier to understand.
In this episode of The Equine Vet Connect Podcast, Dr. Dan Carter and Dr. Caroline Brown dig deep into a deceptively common issue: sarcoids. These skin tumors show up in all breeds, all disciplines, and horses of any age—and they are not “just” a sarcoid. They are cancer.
Dr. Carter and Dr. Brown explain how sarcoids form, the viral link to bovine papillomavirus, and why the “wait and see” approach can backfire. They also break down the different types of sarcoids (from occult to malevolent), why biopsy can sometimes make things worse, and how to approach treatment with everything from surgical excision and immunotherapy to topical options like Xxterra.
This episode is packed with real-life cases, honest conversations, and practical insight into managing a diagnosis that’s more complex—and more serious—than many horse owners realize.
Spoiler alert: Hope and Crest toothpaste are not treatment plans.
