It came up overnight were she had healed up from a wound a year prior.The wound was so big u could put your fist in it. But I got it healed up.Now it's just a little scared so I thought maybe it was from that but it has been healed up a long time. I got online and seen something called pigeon chest , well it kinda looks like a pigeon chest except for the mass that is under her front legs. I don't think it is pigeon chest disease anyway. It was huge the liquid filled mass that grew over night on her chest. It grew to the size of a football now it's under her front legs.It wasnt bothering her at first, but now she freaks when you barly touch it. It has been 4 days now. Holiday weekend so no vet around. I punctured it with a needle and it drained almost all out the day after I noticed it. But the next day twice as big and now overlaps front leg.There is no holes or anything to try and get it to drain. Someone telling me to cut it with a razor blade. But I can't she would freak out and I just can't cut her. She fights us when we try and give penicillin shots. I dont know what to do. I figure she has an infection somewhere but I can't get her to take any antibiots to help herself. Can anyone help me out. This sight is wonderful I love it. I really need help though.Thanks allot in advance." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Pets/horse_wounds.html&name=MOK_37458 /Pets/horse_wounds.rss3 Thu, 14 Jan 10 22:29:31 -0600 [YEA] Ashley from Monroe, Ut writes: "Horse wounds A mixture of mineral oil and kerosene aids in the healing on virtually any wound on a horse. Just mix 50% mineral oil and 50% kerosene (you can buy it in the paint department at a hardware store). You spray it generously on the wound 2 times per day until the skin closes and heals. It's CHEAP and it kills infection and bacteria. We had a mare who was caught in the barbed wire and ripped her entire chest open so far it was hanging to her knees. The vet stitched it up and said there will be a huge scar. All we did to take care of it was spray kerosene/mineral oil on it and to this day...3 years later...there is no scar. You wouldn't believe that it had ever happend to her. This spring, her foal got in the barbed wire (talk about bad luck) and sliced up the side of her neck very deep. The only thing we did was spray it twice per day and it healed up perfectly. We also just bought a mare that had a hard growth on her back leg from a barbed wire accident from years ago (it looks kind of like a branch growing out of her leg). The previous owner clips it off with the nippers and it just grows back. The vet didn't know what else to do to get rid of it. When we got her, we nipped it off and then sprayed the mixture on it and it hasn't grown back since. This stuff is AWESOME. My husband's family has been using this mixture for generations, and this is ALL we use for anything that happens to the horses. The kerosene kills bacteria and prevents proud flesh, while the mineral oil keeps the skin soft and supple to avoid cracking and drying. The kerosene keeps the flies off of the wound. The only drawback to this mixture is that wherever the spray hits, it kills the hair along with the bacteria. The hair will grow back just fine, but until it's healed up, the hair will be gone. This actually helps by keeping the hair off of the wound for easy inspection and keeps the hair from matting to the wound. We just pour the mixture in a spray bottle and keep it on hand so it's always ready to go.

After the usual applications of betedine etc., we applied powdered charcoal and his lameness disappeared within hours. I read this in John Dinsley's book, which I recommend to everyone as it contains a wealth of info on the various remedies of charcoal.

Wound was sutured but previous owner removed pressure wrap and sutures busted out and the owner just left it to rot. I have gotten rid of all the proud flesh, and have gone from the size of a cantalope to a small hole about the size of dime, but it is a hole all the way thru the skin. Vet tried to cast so that it would heal and that was a complete disaster! I am treating it with an Equi Stim machine (micro current) with great results, just need that last little bit that is so hard to get!! Thanks in advance for your help! Oh, I am spraying the wound with calendula oil mixed with distilled water."
