Thought they were bug bites, they feel like bug bites.
They showed up about three or four weeks ago, along his spine- EXACTLY where the saddle would lay, almost the whole length too. They're bumps, under the skin, beneath the hair (hair in tact, nothing like rain rot or fungus either.) slightly smaller than pea sized. He's not itchy and they only seemed to bother him the first week (his skin would flinch when I touched them). Lately, his skin in the area is getting flaky, like dandruff, only when I brush him... still no hair falling out or fungus.
He is his normal self under saddle so I guess he's not in pain (although if he is, he usually doesnt show it until its VERY bad).
Any idea what it could be? His saddle may be too big now that he's changed shape... that wouldnt do it though would it?
