Colour of pus (sorry if you are eating tea)

[Leary]

Have noticed Liri's pus seems to be pinker over last couple of days, rather than yellow. Does anyone know the colour changes of pus and what this means? Thank you

is there blood in it?

If its pink it probably has traces of blood in it. DONT PANIC!!!! If the yellowness is going and its more white or clear with a pink tinge it often means whatever its draining out of is getting cleaner.

If your horse is under treatment I would phone and let your vet know about the change.

I think its blood and pus mixed together, it was thick and yellow before. She is under treatment but now off antibiotics, just on bute.
