Hives in Horses – AHFS Educational eBook

A practical, evidence-based guide written in plain language for everyday horse owners.

Hives can appear frighteningly quickly. One minute your horse looks perfectly normal and the next he can be covered in raised bumps and swellings.

But what actually causes them? And, more importantly, when should you phone your veterinarian?

In this comprehensive AHFS Educational eBook, we take you through hives in horses step by step, using easy-to-understand language while keeping the information scientifically grounded.

Inside we cover:

• What hives actually are

• What hives can look like

• What happens inside the skin

• Common triggers

• Insects and seasonal hives

• Feed and supplements

• When hives may be an emergency

• What to do when hives suddenly appear

• How to become a “hives detective” and look for patterns

• Where nutritional and environmental support may fit

• AHFS products that may be considered as part of a management programme

• Individual nutritional ingredients and their possible supportive roles

• Scientific and veterinary references

Our approach throughout the eBook is simple:

FIND THE TRIGGER. SUPPORT THE HORSE. MANAGE THE ENVIRONMENT.

AHFS products are discussed as nutritional or management support only. We do not present supplements as treatments or cures for hives.

Your veterinarian should always be your first call when you are concerned about your horse, particularly when hives appear suddenly or are accompanied by facial swelling, breathing difficulty, weakness, collapse or a rapidly worsening reaction.
