Re: [RC] Bee Stings, how long to ride? - heidiHi all! We suspect that Star got swarmed by Yellow Jackets Wednesday nigth. She was covered in bumps from nose to flanks on her left side, stomach, chest, some on her right barrel. It could have been hives, but since it wasn't the entire horse my vet thinks it was insect bites. She had over 200. He put her on Benedryl, and I've been bathing her with Aveeno until this morning to take care of the itching. She seems lethargic and sore still. How long should I give her off? I'm planning on going for a long walk tomorrow and seeing how she feels! Thanks, Steph The walking is likely a good idea, but I wouldn't plan on doing anything very taxing until she is no longer lethargic and sore. How long it takes to work through an allergic reaction varies a great deal from individual to individual and from reaction to reaction. Ask your vet about possibly giving her some Banamine to make her more comfortable as well.
