Can anyone help me with my itchy horse? My old gelding drives us mad all summer long scratching himself on anything he can find. He scratches all of himself; neck; back; tummy; sides; rump. I have tried just about everything. I have bought expensive creams, I have had the vet round and ditto expensive preparations. I have washed him all over with benzyl benzoate. I have even washed him in a soda crystal solution to really clean the coat. He gets regular baths. He is drowned in flyspray. He has his tummy rubbed with special stuff. I have used E45 cream; Sudocrem - you name it. I have tried it. Rugs don't help because they don't cover every single square inch of him. I've even stopped giving him his hard food in case it's that! It's not sweet itch - no classic signs - but every part of him seems to be itchy.
What can I do? It can't be nice for the poor horse. It has been suggested that anti-histimine could help. Any advice on this please?
