Got a sweet little mini mare out of a bad situation. Her history from what I know (not much). We have had her a little over a week: She is 3 yo, 36”, from Colorado, sorrel with white main and tail. She had hair loss on her face and an old fungus issue going on.
Treatment(s): she has been given Intervet 5 in one shot, wormed with ivermectin, just finished sand clear, has been bathed daily with fungusol shampoo and cream applied twice daily. Fungus issue is clearing up nicely.
But:
What could the bumps and the black skin spots be from?
Anyone else experience this?

But:
- I noticed she had under her hair on her back, neck and stomach area small rice size bumps. There might be 8 in all. There is no hair loss and they are not inflamed, itchy or crusted. I ruled out lice & mange as there is no significant hair loss or itching. I thought they might be allergic reaction to insects bites and or whatever else was going on when she was in Colorado. They have not changed in the time we have owned her.
- Also, after shaving her we also noticed on her pink skin she had black rice size spots. They looked like something had healed and turned the skin black. There are quite a few of these and the black spots can only been noticed when her hair is shaved.
