I am looking for some advice. I was offered a beautiful bay
arab. He is 16-1, 5 years old and what I think would make a great
endurance prospect. He has a couple of issues that I would like your
opinion on. He previously had a "capped hock" I was told it was just
a cosmetic thing and not to worry. He moves very nicely and shows no signs
of lameness. It is visible that the skin around the cap of the hock
is loose.
The other thing is he has itchy skin from welts on his chest, neck, and a
little bit on his face. Does anyone have any advice on how to make this go
away, or just get better. Is it from flies, or maybe something he is
eating?
Although I do plan on getting a vet check, I would love to hear what
you all have to say.
