Horse with high temperature

[PinkvSantaboots]

The test results came in and indicate that he doesn't have a virus but has had an infection. No idea where the infection is or where it came from. I do wonder if it might have something to do with worming as he was wormed 2 weeks previous and with his background he most likely hasn't had much if any worm management. It's just my theory.
He seeks to be back to normal now , antibiotics finish tomorrow and then if the temperature stays normal after a few days he can start being ridden again.
So fingers crossed we're over it now.

Just got a £500 vet bill in the post- thank goodness for insurance!

Same thing has happened to my horse a few times you just don't know where the infection is but I just 're test afterwards to make sure it's gone, it can sometimes be a low immune system I put my horse on a good balancer and feed echinacea now.

I suspect that his immunity might not be great since before coming to me I doubt he's had decent nutrition - he came from Ireland and then was owned by a girl who just kept him in a paddock. I might look into getting some echinachea to give him a boost too.

Global herbs restore is good to feed after an illness you only feed it for about a month, I put mine on it in various times over the year and I have fed aloe Vera juice as well it's meant to be good for immunity.

I’m another who knew a horse suddenly become very unwell. Propping himself up on stable wall. Huge temp. Couldn’t be travelled to vets as so wobbly. 2 days later back to normal and an infection “somewhere” although never discovered where. Never had another issue.
