Hi,
I have a 20 year old cob that I've had since July. He is violently rubbing and itching on anything and everything. In the summer when I got him he was rugged and out 24/7 with a fly rug and very occasionally I saw him scratching but now it's winter and he's in at night the rubbing and scratching is getting out of control. He's not rugged or clipped.
I have spoken with various feed suppliers to seek their opinions on whether something I was feeding was causing it and so his feed has been changed. I have also got him on an itch free supplement.
I have got the vet coming on Thursday to do his vaccinations anyway so going to get them to give some advice, but wondered if anyone could suggest anything?
Really appreciate it
