my horse( show jumper)- started coughing last week, just watery nasal discharge(at rest), dehydrated, off food for fews days, no temp, dungs a bit darker than usual, glands up. On top spec feed balancer, oats and alfa- a, ad lib hayledge and best of straw bedding - however still not firing on all cylinders- never squelling and bucking which i find odd.
Has blood done - results today - normal. So vet is coming tomorrow to vaccinate against ehv1,4, for the first time for this horse (i didnt realise that he wasnt vaccinated until my dad checked) and to update tet and flu.
Any opinions if this is ok?
heard that cos its 1st time for ehv 1,4 shots, need booster again in 3 wks and then every 3-6 month? is this right?
Anyone has experiences with horses suffering from low grade viruses?
thanks
 
I can not remember how many inititally think it was one then another month later. Then I know you have a booster every 6 months.

We were at a yard that had herpes and after seeing what it does 1st hand I always get mine vaccinated against it. It is a truely horrible.
