Maaike de Schepper, [02 Nov 2022 at 16:41:53]: I recently had a sarcoid on a captive cheetah. Newton Sparks, [03 Nov 2022 at 07:32:57]: Did you just treat it surgically, Maaike? Maaike de Schepper, Yes, It was located on the tip of the ear, which was easy enough to remove with clear margins. The cheetah is mainly fed on horse/donkey, rather than beef. Pierre Nel, [04 Nov 2022 at 08:03:00]: Many healthy horses have papilloma virus in the epidermis which is not expressed. Some genetic factor seems te be involved in susceptibility. Biting flies likely to be the vectors ( mechanical🤷♂️) which fits in well with ear margin in cheetah Newton Sparks [2 Nov 2022]: Click on report to view. This is the histopathology report of the lion with the growth on the lip I posted on the group recently. Quite interesting! Newton Sparks, 13 October 2022: Has anybody seen something like this in lion before? I would guess something like a papilloma, but very smooth . It is getting bigger... Photos from Newton Sparks Paul Reynolds, [13 Oct 2022 at 23:12:28]: I have seen in 2 cases. I amputated both without sending for histopathology. None returned after surgery. Newton Sparks, [14 Oct 2022 at 06:45:52]: Thanks Paul!
