On Saturday morning B was clammy and wet underneath her belly and between her hind legs only. It feels cold and damp to the touch, almost like condensation in that it's more on the ends of the coat than down to the skin?
She's been the same all through yesterday and again this morning was cold and damp underneath. There was a small patch on the front of her chest that was slightly sticky, more like half-dried sweat, but it's cold rather than warm and has been whenever I've checked her, day or night.
She's stabled at night, bed is clean, warm and dry, no leaks in stable. Out by day. Normal wees and poos, absolutely fine and bright in herself.
Vet suggested that she'd perhaps had a mild colic in the night but would have expected a warm sweat and she has no other symptoms of colic, plus it has persisted for over 48 hours now with no change. The other suggestion is that she is simply too hot - she's a Welsh Cob, still not clipped yet, but she doesn't wear a rug, is out by day in all weathers and the stable is well ventilated. Again, you'd expect a warm/hot sweat if that were the case.
Any ideas?
