Hives Pictures

I just got this horse back from a bad situation on 8/18/08. That day, I noticed some small raised bumps on his back, and some on the back. The 8 / 19, there were more bumps, but only on the right side. I watered and washed in baby shampoo to eliminate the irritation of some drugs has been a sore on his withers, and the next day (8 / 20) They were still there ... no longer appeared, but they are larger. They obviously irritating him, she scratches on a tree all day. This is how they look today.

I talked to a vet, and he said there wasn't really anything he could do ... his pipe down and give him Benadryl, which I did. Didn't seem to help at all. She eats and drinks very well. Do these look like hives or insect bites? Is what I can do for her, comfort her, make them disappear?? My first thought is of the hives have been ... but they are only one side of her, and a little on his neck (right side) and chest ... and a little more on his legs (all 4).

It looks like she has a bad case of hives. Urticaria is a response to histamine allergy and I assume that the source of allergies in her something of hay or grain or something she is exposed in her litter. The first thing I would do is treat it with an antihistamine. Tri-Hist HistALL and are good to consider. The second thing I would do is try to identify the source of the allergy. To do this, I remove the hay and grain and pasture to 24 / 7 for a few days, not much more than that because the sudden change may overwhelm their intestines and cause him to colic or founder. Stop the antihistamine and when the hives are gone, and his return to his barn and resume her usual grain and bedding, but to feed his hay from a different source than you have been given him. If the hives do not return then the source of the allergy is hay that you ate it, but if the hives do not return, then you were the hay supply is correct and that the source is probably either grain or bedding In this case, you should change the source of its grain and give the antihistamine until the hives have disappeared again. Then stop the antihistamine again, and when the hives have disappeared. If the hives do not return then the source of the allergy is the grain you ate it, but if the hives do not return then the grain was you supply is correct and that the source is probably his bedding. Change the source of his bed and put on the new antihistamine until the hives have disappeared again and then stop the new antihistamine. If the hives do not return then the source of the allergy was the bed linen was used. But if the hives do not return then you will have to continue the process of removing the same way you did his hay, grain, and bedding until you finally find the source of the allergy . A little luck and a lot of care will help you get there. Do not give up because if a life on antihistamine is not the best solution to an allergy.

Certainly hives. If the Benadryl does not work, perhaps his nerves and not an allergic reaction to something. People can get hives from being stressed, so why not a horse? Vetrolin has some good medicated shampoos that may help some. Otherwise, try to get Tri-Hist and gives a little extra attention. It is probably all freaked out being there. I'm certainly no expert, I'm just float an idea out there.

They are hives, they can be a light allergic reaction from insect bites. When my horse had this problem, the vet advised me to wait a few days and fly spray at least once a day. They went without f.
