Hair growth!!!

[Ellie679]

One of my horses had an allergic reaction before we bought her, her tail hair had fallen out and she had a few bald patches on her neck. Now she has no tail or mane/ forelock hair, almost completely bald on her face/neck/ shoulders and small patches of baldness on her bum.
We have been putting wonder gel on her for the past two years trying to help her grow hair but it seems to have had little effect.
Basically I want to know how/ what I can do to help her hair grow!

What has your vet suggested is the cause and what treatment has been tried, you must have done something other than use wonder gel.

Have you called the vet to look at it? It isn't normal for a horse to have big bald patches and no mane or tail for 2 years...

Yes our vet has seen her, he says it's genetic and the allergic reaction stimulated the hair loss.

She was fed linseed but we didn't see an improvement.

Genetic to have hair loss? I would be inclined to get a second opinion I think...

We have tried a few different vets and they all say the allergic reaction to a wormer could have stimulated the genetic issue, or it burnt the follicles making it harder for her to grow hair.
She is fit and well and in good condition but quite bald :/

Is she bald where the tack goes ? replied to your other post, suggested camrosa but you'd need such alot by the sounds of it

She is very patchy all over, but yes, there are bald bits where the tack goes. She wears very soft numnahs and girth
