Piriton

[kimky]

ellor ,
Piriton? in other words allergy tablets. every year my horse comes out in these nasty lumps all over her body due to flys, i have used more aless everything on the market for fly relief and repellent, feed supplements and creams but nothing really seemed to work. My vet has looked at this on her before and just gave me antibiotics but did'nt really have anything, epcept a injection but its have side affects like colic (something i cant be doing with lol ) so i was wondering if i could give her piriton? strange i know but ya never no if it might work ? what your opinions ? xxx thanks

My previous mare was exactly as you describe yours and yes I gave my mare Piriton.

I only gave them to her in the heat of the summer when the flies were particularly bad, & rightly or wrongly I gave her 3 in the morning & 3 at night.

Yes I felt that they helped & would do it again with this horse if need be.

My mare has slight hayfever in the summer months so she goes on piriton and we have no probs at all.

I asked my vet if I could give my horse Piriton for allergic reaction and she said it works for dogs and cats but has no effect on horses so I would be wasting my money.
(perhaps she just wanted to sell me more steroids, which I didn't want)
