HIVES ugh!

EWWWWW Jester has broken out in hives all over his neck and shoulders. I thought it was just mosquito bites as he had a few over the last few days, but today he looked awful- so I mixed in some antihistamine with his morning low starch non-grain based feed. He was a good boy and ate it all. He's been wearing the Renegades on the forehooves since yesterday-so I am now seeing just how much the pectoral strain affects his movement. Also- the since he stands with the right hind ahead of the left, he balances by having his right fore further back than the left fore. This explains why the heel on that right front wants to be higher than the left, something like a very low grade club foot. I am going to investigate the patella/stifle area as a potential cause for the toe first landing with that right hind. He still gets stretches and rubs every day, over 20 hours a day turnout. His pasture boss has taken some hair off him here and there, and he found a way to slice a superficial cut into his hip- likely the grapefruit tree he loves to back up to. I continue to use Schreiner's herbal spray on his scabby legs and other scrapes, and SWAT or Corona on any broken skin. I keep reminding myself it's only been a week!
