I assume the latest question is for FjordBCRF, but I will pick it up anyways, in case anyone else finds themselves in the same boat!
Our latest status is, now that the flies are gone, my vet wants to first band off the sarcoid, I guess you call this ‘ligature’. He claims he has had good results, and that if it doesn’t catch the whole sarcoid, one can follow up with creme like XXterra. I suggested imiquimod but he seems to think the banding is a good first step. I’m a bit apprehensive that he simply isn’t familiar with imiquimod treatment and is reaching to a familiar, old-school approach. It doesn’t help my trainer is of the old school himself and encouraged the vet to band it.
I have a call in to a vet at the university so hope to get some direct feedback from him before my vet gets to action. The sarcoid itself is about the size of a piece of bazooka bubble gum (with rounded edges) on my guy’s belly, not near the girth. Scary process, he is otherwise doing so good!
