Everything You Need To Know About Horses

Horse Melanomas

Though not an emergency, melanomas or tumors, do need to be checked and monitored for any changes.

More common on grey horses, they are especially common around the anus, perineal area, vulva, sheath and penis. They are most often black and may or may not be increasing in size.

The decision to remove a melanoma may be based on its location and how rapidly it is growing. Your vet should examine the melanoma and advise you on what changes to look for.
