Hello, My gelding has had hives now since the end on May. I give him dex. paste and they go away for a day. I am trying to use less dex. and more natural remedies, I am trying Apis but so far it hasn't had much affect on the hives. Someone also suggested sulphur. I noticed that that is one of the ingredients in cough free and am wondering if that is why it seems to help. Does anyone know what I can do for the hives topically? These hives are driving me crazy. Thank You..Susan
