[JEZA]

Has previously had what i thought was "buttercup burn" on face.
Since October 2021, body very itchy with bald patches.
On piriton all winter until now.
July 2022~ very, very itchy!! i treated her with ivermectin wormer & Deosect wash incase it's mange.
Im having the vet this week, (again), but any ideas gratefully received.

Ringworm? Are you near any cattle? Notorious for sharing ringworm.

Maybe something being eaten in the field? What feed is the horse on?

Thanks. Im working my way through her feed, but she is on virtually nothing & it doesnt appear to be feed related. Thanks again for replying .

The only things on my radar for itchiness and bald patches you ll have explored with your vet already I’m sure….mites, lice, ringworm, sweet itch, alfalfa in feeds, allergic reaction to something environmental in field or resins in wood shavings if used for bedding, metabolic issues. Update us if you do pin it down in case it’s another thing to put on the list..hope you can resolve it soon.
