The results from the biopsy came back and showed that Isis’ problems were caused by an allergic reaction. What she reacted to, we don’t know yet. I’d be willing to guess that it was something tied in with the rain rot she had (which is now gone).
It rained again here last night. Originally I wasn’t too worried about the rain because the roof had been patched. The roofer had warned me that he might not have gotten all of the spot and to call him if the roof continued to leak. The roof leaked last night. This time water actually came…
Here is the feedback my real estate agent just gave me for the people who viewed the house: The people who saw the house last night didn’t understand the floor plan. (Yeah she was kinda scratching her head over that one too.) The people who saw the house on the 5th said that every room…
So it is two days out, and she is looking so much better. I feel incredibly relieved. She’s walking and even trotting out in her field. She’s gimpy but feeling so much better than she was Tuesday night. Still gimpy, dragging the front right a little, but major improvement from where she was. Related Images:
Just before I started this blog in 2004, Isis had a record year for Bad Things. Okay, not as bad as later years, but up until that time it was Bad. Laminitis, rain rot, sprained tendon, and dew poisoning. A reader asked a question about Isis’ February 2006 case of belly gunk. In addition to…
Back from the show and man was I tired! I had been worried the show would be cancelled because of the rain we’ve had (plus the forecast). The show was on, luckily. I felt really good about our preparation for the dressage portion of the test. I was very nervous about the cross country part….

I recently lost my QH to an autoimmune disease called pemphigus foliaceous where the body has become allergic to a protien that binds the upper layers of skin together called desmoglen. Vet with 30 years experience had never seen this disease. The symptoms are very much like other skin diseases(and it is rare)like rain rot ,ringworm and etc. If you have any questions my e-mail is blmoon585@aol.com
Jem,
I am very sorry to hear about your QH. I’ve never heard of pemphigus foliaceous, however, after reading a few sites on it (Google is your friend), the symptoms do sound similar. I’ll email my vet about it and see what she says.
How did you find out your horse had it?
