I know this is an old thread, but i'm researching soy allergy. I put a horse in training on a higher protein feed. The feed included soy bean meal and the old feed did not. His first feeding of the new feed was at 4pm on Wed. By 4pm on Thur he was massivly covered in hives (entire neck, chest, rump). It took another day to weed it out, but his last soy was at 8am on Fri. It is now 4pm on Sat and most of his hives are now gone. Given the response and that the feed ingredient was the only new thing, we are treating him as allergic to soy.

Thanks for the input. I wasn't really asking any question, just responding to the thread that had already taken place. I'm blessed to have never delt with allergies before, so was just generally researching their symptoms, etc. This horse is now 2 days without the soy (and no other changes in diet) and the hives are completely gone.
