Sarciods

Apple has been receiving treatment for her sarcoid, this involves the sarcoid being injected every 2 weeks with a form of chemotherapy ( to kill of the cancer cells) she has had 2 treatments and will need a third and it is looking very good. (totally forgot to take photo's)

The nice vet who came to inject her was telling me about the latest research on sarciods done at Liverpool, they have found that cows have a similar problem and they found the same virus of the sacroid in the RDNA of the cow and the horse, Break though they thought, ha not that simple, they then took sacoid from a horse to a cow, no it didn't transmit nor the other way around so they know it is a virus based but then something happens to make it turn into a tumor, its this bit that they are having problems with, finding the link! At least they are trying!

The sun chaps have arrived and are really doing their job, her summer Mud fever has gone!!!!

This afternoon I am off to watch sadly not take part (lolo has missed too much work) Valerie Fratellini, who as a student of the late Sue Oliveira has continued the stages that Sue Oliveira held at the local riding school. It is great that in the depths of the Dordogne we have access to such talented Trainers.
