Hi all. I'm a relatively newbie owner and trying to figure out the best approach to managing my boy's hives. He had a bad outbreak all over his neck and shoulders when I first had him (10 months ago). Cleared up, nothing at all over spring summer and most of autumn. Clipped his neck a month ago and he came out in hives that lasted a few days after that. Two/three weeks later and now they're back again. He's moved yards but feed has stayed the same - and I've been giving him linseed oil since the first outbreak 10 months ago. I've just been reading up on nutrition and the importance of Omega 3 for managing skin allergic reactions and was thinking 'great! I just need to get him on an omega 3 supplement as it must be a winter thing because no growing grass' - until I realised he's already on one with the linseed - d'oh! Any thoughts or suggestions from folk more experienced than I would be much appreciated!
