Are sarcoids contagious?
Hey horse people,
Two new horses have moved into our stable, that would actually be nice and I would be happy…
Unfortunately, not only was a sweet pony mare with bad hooves placed next to my dwarf, but a horse with warts also moved in.
Constellation:
My pony – sweet pony – warthog
So my boy isn't standing directly next to the horse with sarcoids, but I'm still worried that something could be transmitted. I've heard the virus can spread through mosquitoes… which means all the horses in the stable and even the surrounding area (we're surrounded by other stables).
My pony is already offering to scratch the mare next to her (her head keeps moving toward her withers, "scratching lips"), the little cuddly bear😅. So far, she's very interested but only allows him to touch her to a limited extent. At least there are no warts visible on her😮💨
The warthog doesn't have a single sarcoid on its rear end like many grey horses… no, of course, if it does, then it's a real problem. The entire horse is covered in warts, really huge ones. The horse is bleeding from its belly; I suspect it's from burst warts.
The warts are mostly found on the neck, but can also be found all over the rest of the body. Honestly, I find it super disgusting, but also the thought of my little Isi getting warts too 🤮
So far, no one in the stable has seen an owner; the horses just suddenly appeared. The others immediately noticed the warts.
My guesses range from the idiot tenant no longer wanting to have the run-down horses in his own boarding stable to someone rescuing them (though then you'd have to see who the person was). I don't believe they've had bad experiences (apart from a lack of care). They both stick their noses out and beg for attention. All of the tenant's horses are noticeably friendly toward people, unkempt, and absolutely attention-hungry due to chronic boredom, so that would fit.
Please reassure me, or perhaps tell me why the warts thing isn't acceptable so I can make a good argument. If he and the school horse were to move, the wart horse would be isolated, as the school horse unfortunately is at the moment. Would that help?
I can't get anything if I touch the warthog, can I?
LG & thanks for your answers

Sarcoides are not contagious
There are two forms. One of them is known as foals. Go around your nose and head. They’ll get horses up to 5 years and fall after 3-5 months. They arise due to a virus which can hardly be avoided and also does not have to. It’s like windpokes in people. You get only 1x in the normal case.
Then there’s the Equine Sarkoid. This is also not contagious and caused by a virus. But there are several causes that need to fit together. Genetics as well as epigenetics are points. The virus originates from cattle and is transmitted via mosquitoes etc. But not on every horse, that’s what it is. Basically, these are not a problem, only if they are open, they are at risk of infection. Cutting them away brings a probability of 50% that they come back. Do not disturb them, is usually recommended to leave them easy. Disturb them zb in the belt position. My mare also has Sarkoide. I am currently informing myself about treatment methods, as cutting away will not work anywhere. This year, a Sarkoid just fell off. I support her immune system
Breathe first…
Sarcoides are not contagious. If you’re dealing with how Sarcoids come about, you don’t need to panic.
Also bad hooves do not pass from one to the other horse;)
Nobody forces you to touch other horses.
if there are sarcoides – or melanoma – cancer and tumors as well as their precursors are not contagious. at least via direct transfusion.
but great idea, the two of them together directly with strange horses. probably never heard of gradual, protected contact. even if it’s boxing, you’re parked so that the horses don’t have direct contact. the stall owner has found his certificate either in the lotto or under a stone.
Yes, unfortunately, would not have been possible to park the farther away, a box to the other horse was released, but to me was not possible. Give yourself perfect right, the owner is a number for himself
As far as I know, Sarcoides are not contagious. For me, it sounds more like eczema horse and not Sarcoids…
Are coffin
I’m always working hard on remote diagnostics, so whether it’s really sarcoides or not. But I’ll answer the case that they are.
The equine Sarkoid does not transfer to people, but between horses. In this respect, your concern is not completely unjustified. But it depends on the susceptibility of the other horse.
All in all this sounds like a case for the Veterinary Office. If the horses were “sweet” by someone, hopefully the one knows that this is a very expensive matter.
Where did you get that wisdom?
The attachment is not effected directly, but via small wounds, e.g. by flying or even cleaning products. Besides, genetic susceptibility must be given, I had written up.
That’s the state I’ve known and a TA has delivered to me in a Sarkoidosis pin.
What do you mean?
So yesterday I met the owner of the horse with warts, a really nice veterinarian who took the horse as a young horse as his tuning horse and after a few first tunings took warts so overhand that he could no longer start with the horse or. it can no longer ride, although otherwise totally healthy. He’s been there for years and now the horse has been credible for nine years, but he doesn’t get to sleep the horse over his heart and try everything on the horse, which is only possible. What a sweet guy, he took the time for me and the other stable members who were on site to report his story and explain to us that we don’t have to worry about our ponies. In his opinion, both humans and horse can touch his horse unthinkingly, which I then absolve after the first, just about the bloody warts, then also made… Such a cumbersome, nice horse you can’t find an end and just want your horse healthy 🙈
If it’s interested in the little Hufrehehorse, the pony is from the owner and was probably “sorted” for the Hufrehe first.
@pony
The hoof problem is not contagious for me 😀 With warts contrary to coffin in molds I had nothing to do so far.
Thanks for the answers!
It just doesn’t trim. This is not contagious, and not a case for the Veterinary Office.
Thanks for the hint. I’m going to go further into corresponding literature. At the moment, I still don’t get the node solved.
I’m sorry, but I suspect you’ve misunderstood something about warts, but not about sarcoids…
And sucoidosis is now something else.
How do you come up with the idea that Sarcoide is transferring to other horses?
She means the quoted sentence that comes from you.
No, that’s not contagious.#
Nevertheless, you should reconsider your horse’s attitude. That sounds like boxing. Is there any reasonable reason why your horse should be in a box?
Paddockbox, which is usually moved 2 – 3 times a day (yesy I know is a lot, but most of all there are my careshares that walk with him and I believe movement in step has not hurt any healthy horse yet ^^^).
