More Info
Melanomas are a frequent problem in grey horses with more than 50% of the horses effected by their teens in some populations. Melanomas begin as small dark nodules on the skin and usually around the prepuce, teats, or perineum of the horse. The age of onset is frequently over 12 years but are seen on horses as young as five years old. There are other forms of melanomas that strike non-grey horses. This report consists of a description of equine melanoma, diagnosis, treatments, and prognosis.
