Veteran Posts: 164 Location: Oregon	I tried taking the best pictures possible but it was dark outside so im sorry if they arent the best. My moms horse broke out it a bunch of oozing swollen spots all over him. Any one ever dealt with this or have any idea what may have caused this? At first I thought bug bites but all over like that? Idk any help would be appreciated. He is older then 25. So im worried about him.

Veteran Posts: 164 Location: Oregon	Well certain ones are about as big as a bug bite. But whats funny is I cant find like a bite or a point of origin for them to be oozing out of .. I wish I could getbthe pictures to load!

Veteran Posts: 164 Location: Oregon	Isnt it just kinda weird for only him to have gotten attacked by bugs? I mean im used to bug bites and I used to own a mare who was allergic to them and she never had it to this extent.

Good Grief! Posts: 6343 Location: Cap'n Joan Rotgut.....alberta	we have a few get this every fall(and only in the fall), its definatly not bugs............almost looks like rain rot but all over the body and small bumps......i think its a mineral deficency....and e seems to be the missing culpert.....this is strictly my opinion so if you are really worried about your guy take him to the vet...... m

Veteran Posts: 164 Location: Oregon	Hmm the mineral deficiency would be interesting. I hadnt thought of that. I will be having the vet out today or tomorrow.
