Banner is not well...vibes please

[TinselRider]

For the last few days Ban hasn't been right when ridden, excessivley increased resp rate and getting very hot/ sweaty/ veiny after not much work

Yard manager thinks it could be lack of fitness but he is worked 5 / 6 days a week and hasn't changed much

Vets are coming out tomorrow to check his heart and take bloods, so any spare get well vibes would be fab at the moment.



Can't stand the thought of my angel being ill

Edited to add: His membranes on upper lips were pale aswell which leads me to think it might be anemia or a virus

Boogles, my four year old was the same last week,

on Wendesday he just crumpled underneath me

Vet has been and taken blood test which has shown he is fighting a virus. He has have to have two weeks off
Since then I have heard about four horses, all of which, were blowing, sweating, lack of enery and falling over. I live in Shropshire so guess there is a virus going round.
Hope Ben gets better soon, my boy hasnt been himself at all for about a week but was chasing the shetland today so must be feeling better.

lahaki~ Glad to hear your boy is feeling better.

I am hoping it is just a virus then, Ban is usually such a hardy lad it makes it all the more concerning when he is ill, It's worrying me how quickly it has come about aswell

Have just read a post in Vets section with a horse showing similar symptoms.

It was very quick with Roo (my boy) he is usually so full of himself, I felt really guilty that I didnt notice any thing before. Then when he collapsed with me I was so worried, and felt so quilty that he had actually fallen down. It was on a surface thank goodness so he didnt hurt himself, but think it did frighten him. Lets us know how Banner gets on.
