Bots, Equine - contd.
Clinical signs include the presence of tiny, white-colored eggs measuring roughly one to two millimeters. Bot eggs can be found on any part of the body covered in hair, but are usually located along the forelegs, shoulders, and face. Horses with bots may suffer mild gastritis and stomatitis, resulting in pain or discomfort during eating. However, most horses with bots remain asymptomatic, aside from the visible eggs on their haircoats.
