Also called aural papilloma, aural plaque is a condition affecting the inside of a horse’s ear. A white, plaque-like material, it sometimes appears thick and crusty. In most cases, there is tender pink skin underneath the plaque. It is a rather painful condition. Causes:
- Infection
- Wart-causing virus (papillomavirus)
- Wart-causing virus (papillomavirus)
- Fly bites
Beamer has had these Aural plaques for a while. During winter time it gets painful and makes him ear shy. I heard that as a foal he had a lot of warts on his muzzle as well as him not having the best nursing start with his dam.
Wanting to get rid of this 'affliction' I did some research and found this study done at University of Minnesota (http://www.cvm.umn.edu/cic/completedstudies/lamedsurg/aldarardvm/home.html) and I want to give it a shot.
Please stay posted on the treatment !!!
