[QUOTE="Dempster, post: 1645419, member: 32761"] There is decent success treating these with IV sodium iodine. 2-3 doses about 3 weeks apart will give more success than a single dose. Often success with these is making it stop growing, may see a slight degree of size reduction. However, once it stops growing the animal will often do well, it is definetly worth trying to treat, especially if it has only been there a few months or less. Biggest issue with them is the infection can get into the tooth roots and teeth will start working loose. At that point feed consumption worsens and these start to do poorly. I wouldn't be concerned about transmission to people, that wouldn't be at all likely. [/QUOTE]
