In Reply to: Wart? on upper back heels posted by Steve on November 09, 2003 at 01:42:19:
: I own a standardbred racehorse that has warts, or what looks like warts, on the upper side of his heel just at the joint. He is very tender on it and tonight the warts cracked and bled leaving him extremely sore.
: When we got the horse he was found to be anemic and his back rump muscles seemed less developed. We have been thinking that the anemic condition, poor back rump muscle development and warts may be somehow symptoms of something else, such as parasitical in nature.
: Any suggestions?

There is no way anyone could possibly diagnose that from here. Since this is some skin condition not related to farriery , I suggest calling the vet.
