the photo i posted late last night?
think it's urticaria, but heavens only knows what the cause is.
it's only one side of his back.
it was still up this morning (although possibly not as high as yesterday).
he's rugged so can't have rolled on anything.
no diet change - although someone suggested something may be growing in the field he may have nibbled, but why would it only be there if so? nothing anywhere else on him at all.
other thought - overheating? but again, why only there?
he's clipped out, and doesn't have THAT heavy a rug on .... granted it's got a bit of a lining but still
rug was clean on last weekend; it had been cleaned last year by the same people who cleaned all the other rugs, so can't sensibly be what it was cleaned with, that would be illogical.
and just to help = i thought, well at least i can still do in hand work, that's a plan - then it rained, again......
Did you have a saddle pad on him? Had you washed it recently? Could be a reaction to a detergent?
ReplyDeleteDon't know what else to suggest.
