You could tell then had rolled quite a bit either trying to itch or trying to get whatever got them off. CC shouldnt' have Dex because of her kidneys. I did put some Arnica Poultice on them, but how many Benedryl would you give an 1100lb horse? Edited by run n rate 2015-10-16 3:53 PM

Benadryl can cause hallucinations in horses to the point they may kill themselves. I spoke to my vet years ago about this and he told me to never give it, as the hallucinations are hard to manage if they get them. He had horses crawling up padded walls and injuring themselves due to owners administering Benadryl

All but the really big one on her belly was completely gone this morning so thank you all for your help.

All but the really big one on her belly was completely gone this morning so thank you all for your help. CC is a boo boo magnet!!! Glad she's better! That's an understatement!!! I'm kind of thinking maybe it was wasp stings. The panels that separate her pasture and the big mare's pasture on the square pipe style ones but the bottom of the "sauare" if you will is open and we've dealt with wasp building nests in there before. Since it was just her and Poopie that had the welts I'm wondering if they were dinking around like they do and disturbed some. I didn't ride until Sunday because she still had the big one on her belly which was in the spot the hind cinch would touch and she had one several in the front cinch area.
