Extreme Veteran Posts: 575	I had a mare do nerve damage and developed a 'sweat spot' right on her left hip area. About 7 inches long and 3 inches wide. I went to a few different vets, and finally had it diagnosed. I seriously doubt that this is the same thing, but maybe a possibility? I would spend the money to go to a good lameness vet and get x rays/ultrasounds/radio-graph's done. In my experience, being 'cheap' with my vet care always led to me spending more money in the long run.

Vet said he believed it was the nerve endings starting to fire again.
