I am looking for some advice please. My 3 year old mare has a couple of sarcoids around her sheath and I am thinking about starting her on Thuja Tablets and Cream. They have been diagnosed by the vet as sarcoids and he suggested leaving them a while until she's a little older before going down the Liverpool Cream route. I have heard varying success stories regarding the cream and would like to try alternative methods before going down this route.
Has anyone had success with the Thuja?
Also, how many tablets should I give her daily and is it ok to put these in her feed? I have also heard that feeding Echinacea could be beneficial.
Any advice available on this would be great.
Thanks in advance

If you haven't already tried it I would go the turmeric route first, I am currently trying thuja pistules for a melanoma type lump as turmeric does not appear to help melanomas and it does appear to be getting smaller, if you don't already know about it go to Turmeric user group on facebook for information

I used Thuga tablets and cream for 2 months. The skin opened so I then used Camrosa and you wouldn't know my horse had anything. It was high up inside a back leg and his skin there is pink.

Thanks guys. Really appreciated your responses. I have been trying turmeric without success for the past few months which is why I'm looking at other options. How many Thuja tablets do you feed per day and what dose (30c or 200c)?

Buy the Thuja tablets from Horse Health Supplies already made into equine strength. Use the Thuja cream but make sure you only put it onto the sarcoid and not the surrounding skin. Either be extra careful or put a light cover of Vaseline around the area before applying the cream to the sarcoid (don't put the vaseline on the sarcoid).
We have used Thuja very successfully as have friends of ours. In addition, every couple of months we used Sarcex in the feed as an additional supplement.
It can take time for the sarcoid to go, so be patient. Once the sarcoid has gone and the skin is clear, rub aqueous cream into the skin twice a day to keep it moisurised and supple.
