Hi, I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me, my horse has horrific hives!!

They first appeared november last year even though nothing had changed and just went after three weeks.

he then got them again and i took him off all food, changed stables and field and they went away following a high dose of antihistamine and changing his diet. they have come back more recently and has had them for over 2 months now and they are getting worse. Again nothing changed and he is on limited food.

I have tried everything - up to 32 antihistamine, changed his diet, given him a detox additive, rugged him head to toe, clipped him and washed him for mites. none ofwhich have helped this time....

i thought it might be tea tree oil shampoo as a common factor with each time them coming up is when he is washed but they havent gone down this time, thought they started to then he was washed baby shampoo and they are back with avengence.

any help is very welcome!!!!!!
 
Have you had the vet out and maybe get him blood tested. Could be an allergy to something. Sorry not much help but you seem to have covered pretty much everything else!!
 
hi, yes we have had the vet, thought about seeing if it was a virus but he is very well in himself. alot of people have said his we have him tested to see what he is reacting to it will probably show up lots as somany horses are! and then we will be no further. Aahhhhh
