My boys skin is really causing confusion...he has hot lumps that are scabby and itchy as hell in his girth area, arm pits, shoulders and between back legs. He had these last year and they didn't respond to any treatment (antibiotics, steroids, washes) Cleared up finally in spring but as soon as he got his winter coat this year it returned.
I'll go have a look through your site and see what I can find.
Thankyou, really interesting site.
I was pleased to find the pics of ringworm and hives as the horse here who got ringworm a few weeks back started with exactly the same as in the picture of hives. The info says it can be a reaction to a fungal infection..
Made me feel better as I sworeto the vet it was urticaria not ringworm, then two days later it changed!
