Urticaria
Somewhat contrary to the position in horses, urticaria is very rare in donkeys. Many cases are attributed to food hypersensitivity, but other contact, inhaled or ingested allergens can be responsible.
Clinical signs
Vascular reaction in dermis, consists of transient wheals.
Treatment
Treatment is usually simply by a single intravenous injection of dexamethasone. It is, however, important to differentiate urticaria from other localised oedematous swellings in the skin. Careful clipping may reveal a single haemorrhagic spot indicative of an insect bite/sting.
Literature Search
Use these links to find recent scientific publications via CAB Abstracts (log in required unless accessing from a subscribing organisation).
