Nettle Rash? also in Vet!

[oscarwild]

My mare has been ill for a few months with high liver enzymes. So she has been in a small boxrest paddock during the day since this happened. She was out there this morning for a hrs and half and I took her in as she has lumps all over her face. They went down so I put her out in another small paddock for a hr this evening and she came back in 4 times as bad as she did this morning. Both fields have nottles in them the one this morning had alot and the new one this afternoon had 2.

Could the lumps be nettle stings and should I do anything to treat them?

Yep, could be nettle stings if her immune system is low. Put some anti-histamine cream or aloe vera on them and I'd probably try and cut them down

I agree, my girl had nettle rash, and I treated it with Aloe Vera, it did work but it did take several days before it went down, her was also hot to touch, hope she gets better soon .
