A strange lump!!

Gandalf has had a lump on his back for a while. It doesn't seem to bother him much but as it wasn't going away we took him up to the vet's to get it checked out. They did an ultrasound, he wasn't too keen on the machine but didn't make too much fuss and didn't seem bothered about the clippers to shave him either......

The lump looked a lot bigger without his hair on it....
Anyway, the good news is that it's not a melanoma or an abscess, just probably an infected insect bite so he's been given a cortisone injection and hopefully it will go down.......

Looks quite yucky. Hope it clears up quickly

Imagine the balls on an insect who would take a bite out of a horse that size? I hope the little bugger choked.

Eek, that would have worried me so I'm really glad it's nothing serious

Oooh it looks nasty, glad it's not serious and hope he recovers quickly.
