My horse can get quite severe urticaria and suffered from this several times last summer. As he has already had two episodes in the last month, I suggested to my vet that we use antihistimines throughout the summer. She has investigated this but isnt coming up with anything very helpful other than chlorphenamine maleate (Piriton) of which I would need to administer 20-25 tablets per dose. I am reluctant to continue treating with steroids. Is anyone using an antihistimine which comes in large doses for equine usage?
