Re: [RC] itchy skin - Mary Sutliff

This could also be an allergy.  Our 3 year old gelding never had a
problem until we got some orchard grass /alalfa mix hay.  Took about a
week for him to break out.  Vet said the hay triggered an allergic
reaction.  Sold the hay and went back to straight orchard grass.  It did
take steriods to get rid of the bumps, and an antihistame for awhile.
Bumps didn't come back until he went to the trainer in eastern
Washington.  Trainers husband grows the offending hay and even though he
was supposedly fed straight orchard grass the bumps came back.  Maybe
because he was surrounded by that hay. (Inhalation reaction?) Anyway
he's home now and we've once again gotten rid of the bumps.  He was very
itchy when the bumps were there.  They were mostly on his neck and
chest.
