Urticaria is a condition of the skin characterised by the development of multiple flat-topped, oedematous swellings (wheals) in the dermis that dent or 'pit' with digital pressure. Episodes may be acute, chronic or recurrent. The condition occurs in all domestic animals but most commonly in the horse.

The prognosis with urticaria is dependent on the underlying cause. If this can be identified and removed the prognosis is excellent. Horses with recurrent (idiopathic) urticaria generally have a poor prognosis.
