[RC] allergy bumps and other seeping things - Mary Carroll
Is this familiar to anyone?
My gelding has been suffering from bumps which open up and seep fluid, then scab
over. As they heal, they leave a flat open spot which loses hair. It
takes about 3 weeks from bump to hair growing back.
He had one a year for the last 3
years, but this year his right side was covered. Even his anus, and sheath
got some. These are all cleared up, and now there are 3 more under his
chin.
I had the vet out (I am a
responsible owner!) and he said allergy to ???something. Not bugs-too
cold. Not feed-only one side. Maybe plant-we doubt that. I
think it is related to spring shedding and fall hair growth.
I have him on Cough Free and that
seems to help.
FWIW-I live at 4500ft in mainly
high desert. It has been wet wet wet this year.
