What are the symptoms of equine environmental allergies?
Horses with environmental allergies may show a wide range of symptoms, including:
-
Persistent or seasonal itching
-
Hair loss or broken hair coat
-
Skin thickening or pigment changes
-
Recurrent hives (urticaria)
-
Crusting, scabbing, or oozing lesions
-
Secondary bacterial or fungal infections
Because these signs can overlap with other skin conditions, accurate diagnosis is essential before initiating long-term therapy strategy.
