Hi I just purchased a very nice calm TWH who is 19 yrs old. I notice she has a large mass on her crest and one on the side of her neck. Does anyone
have any ideas on what this could be?
Thanks

Hi Janis,
Welcome to Horseadvice ,
I believe we can help you with your question but let me get you started off right.

You will get more responses if you start your own discussion rather than post at the bottom on another member's discussion. Each discussion is "owned" by the original poster and all replies in that discussion should either directly or indirectly address the concerns of the original poster.

To start your own discussion using the navigation bar at the top of this page to back up one page. This will be a Article Page who at the bottom has a list of already present discussions. You will find the "Start New Discussion" button at the bottom of this page.

We do have a better article covering your subject and you will find it at Diseases of Horses » Skin Diseases, Wounds, and Swellings » Swellings / Localized Infection / Abscesses » Diagnosing and Assessing Swellings in Horses. It may help you better describe your mass. The article will have a "Start New Discussion" button at the bottom of the page.

Thank you for your help with keeping Horseadvice.com organized and easily searchable.
