Thank you, I’ll make sure I mention it.

She’s going to the Dick Vet School so would presume they have specialists there all the time? I got given a couple of outcomes, including peritonitis which worries me as she is allergic to antibiotics as we have found out :( her field does have ragwort but I spend hours making sure i pull as...

Hello Just to get maybe a small idea of what to expect, I thought I would ask in here for some advice. My mare has been feeling rubbish lately, but it started about a month ago. She was hopping lame and had a very swollen leg. Vet came out thinking it was an abscess but didn't like the...

She has had my instructor on her and she was very well behaved at home. I may get her out again. The ride judge is female. She would never do anything untowards, she is just tense.

I am planning on taking my mare to a working hunter show this weekend, it will only be our 2nd time out to a competition. We were going to do the nursery novice (60cm) and the prelim (65cm). However, I have just found out that the judge will ride in all the classes (didn't say this in the...

I am planning on putting my mare in foal in 2 years time and have managed to whittle the selection down to two stallions - Amour G and Solaris Buenno. Both are quite different but I cant decide which will best compliment my mare. She is 14.2hh Arab x Cob Pics of her below Any...

So.... cultures and microbiology came back from the flush of her lungs and she has IAD (Inflammatory Airway Disease)... poor pony.

Hello all, just thought I would update this post. So as in the OP, my mare had been on 3 courses of Norodine and 1 tub of Ventipulman, but was still snotting everywhere. She was tested for Strangles and it came back clear (I knew it would) but it was the responsible thing to do. Anyway, she got...

Thank you everyone who has commented. After speaking with the vet, she wants to get head x-rays and if it shows anything they can do a flush/wash/dental treatment. So nervous her ulcers come back with all this :(

Thankfully yes! Still have an ongoing claim for her ulcers at the moment!

ye :( poor pony. My poor bank balance!!

Thankfully, they will be going out for the summer soon! Poor pony just can't catch a break!! Shes just been cleared of ulcers and i feel they are gonna come back with all this medication and procedures.

Ye, she is on haylage in the mornings, on a respiratory liquid, wet feeds and turn out during the day. Still on Norodine as well. Thanks, I will ask for a test kit. Will they accept the sample if it has been on the ground, as I am no good at catching the snot mid-air.

Vet has considered scoping, but I was not sure of what this entails. She hasn't said about culturing the snot though.

just looking for similar experiences and or any suggestions on some mucus/snot! My mare has had a runny/snotty nose since March. I thought it was maybe a secondary infection from her being scoped for ulcers in Feb. She was put on Norodine and Danilon for 7 days and whilst she was on it she...
