Bit of an odd request but do any of you have pics of Insect bites on your horse? My mare came in with a bite that I cant really even describe so wondered if I could have some pics please :o
 
My foal also had a bite with a little swelling on his neck, a few days ago with what looks like a puncher hole in the middle. Have been keeping an eye on it, and the swelling is going down, but today yellow gunk came out from it when touched. He's not bothered by the bite at all.
 
My tb had a bite, lots of swelling and a puncher hole in middle of it too 3 days ago! We had lots of rain so he wasn't in fly rug but a lw! Being a thin skinned chestnut he's prone to getting bitten but never seen this sort of bite before! I put a but of antibacterial cream on it to stop infection and prevent flies and then have just left it and kept fly rug on. Its slowly healing.
 
Meant to say, will take pic tomorrow of it, it's much better than it was, swellings gone down but still visible if you know what I mean!
