Like humans, horses can develop allergies to environmental elements such as dust components, mites, molds, medications, shampoos, and food. Some horses might show respiratory signs, while others can develop itchiness or hives. Understanding what causes your horse’s allergies and working with your veterinarian to treat his clinical signs can improve his health and well-being.  Two experts answer your questions about managing horses with allergies during our Ask TheHorse Live Q&A.
