Bug bites, and the related allergic reaction to bug bites in horses is typically not a serious condition. Many horses have bug bite Allergies, most commonly to various species flies and gnats from the cullicoides family. Small, swollen, itchy bumps; excessive itchiness (puritis), and the resulting hair loss and lichenification or thickening of the skin are all non-serious, but annoying conditions that affect horses with fly allergies. Hives are also a normal allergic reaction to bug bites in horses and are also not considered serious. The only bug bite reactions in horses that should be considered serious and require veterinary attention are ones that affect the horses ability to breathe. If the hives are located in a place where it makes it difficult for the horse to breathe, this would be a serious condition. But, the presence of hives (even if they are really large) is not serious.
