[RC] allergies - Roger RittenhouseJust a short one here while trying to catch up with all the RC posts.. been gone all last week.. more on that later RE allergies.. Carol's horse has COPD.. caused by all the stuff around here. We did the skin allergy test at UNIV TN. Trey made up an anti allergy shot he gets once per month. He does quite well and has competed over the years on the shots.. IT is not a drug but a mix of antigens to give him a little of the things that cause him to have breathing problems COPD.. and it works great. He has been on this for about 5 or 6 years. He has done a number of LDs and a 50 or so since we fixed the problem. You can give antihistamines but you cannot compete on them its a drug.. Have also read that giving honey or bee pollen FROM YOUR AREA will help reduce the problems.. I have not tried this. The correct way to run the test is in a clean stall at a controlled environment like a vet hospital. Roger R From: Caglehead01@xxxxxxx Subject: [RC] Closet reader here with a question. My 4 yr old 1/2 Arab has developed Allergies this Spring due to the Extremely High Pollen count this year, she never had this before . Anyone have a Horse with Allergies and how does it affect your riding and Training? thanks for any info, B.W.
