I'd heard of sweet itch before I got Icelandic's, but just barely, and I'd
never seen a
horse with it before. I'd had horses about 13 years at the time, and I've
always read

I bought a nice big driving pony who came to Oregon from Texas. He had

but there was quite a lot of literature. I

He didn't have it when he was with you before did he?

Orri rubs but I don't see any rash on him, and since he was born in
Canada could he have a tolerance? Are there any photos online where I
could see what SE looks like? V
All horses rub from time to time, so don't panic. And even if you do see a
rash or raw spots, it can come from many

Often, the easiest place to find it is on the ventral midline (where the
belly button would be, just in front of the sheath or udder) where you
will find a few scabs and rough bits. That's often a good first

Just curious, do you know of many

i have a personal theory... I have always owned terriers. It is well
known in that breed that eczema is a huge problem. But ironically,

ones with non show
I HATE to jinx it, but he's still not rubbing or acting itchy here... All
I'm doing is putting on flyspray once or twice a day, keeping his fly mask
on, and Swat on his ventral line. I'm putting some aloe/lanolin natural
blend cream on his old sores and the scabs are coming off. I did wash
10 matches
