Hi
I have an 18yr old gray mare with extensive melanomas. Not only are they on the base of her tail but also believe they are inside as well. How I found this out was when we tried to breed her 2yrs ago and the vet when palpating her found some inside so we didnt go through with the breeding. This leads me to my problen since that time she has had swelling at times in her teats and surrounding area off and on. Now the swelling has gotten quite large in front of the left teat. About the size of a small baseball. this all happened 2 days ago. Im baffled any suggestions.
Thanks Heidi

With such acute swelling unilaterally I have to wonder if this might not be trauma or even a really bad bug bite. But in any case if it persists or worsens you should have your vet out to look.
