Hi Everyone, Sorry a bit long

I am going away this weekend and don't know what to do with my horse. She is on antibiotics for a blocked sinus and the vet has said she should be in at night to monitor if the antibiotics is working. She is now on her third week of the antibiotics and although there is some improvements she still has snot in the morning.

I am finding it difficult to find someone who I trust to turn out muck out ect as most of the horses are living out, my friend who works nights at the weekend will bring her in for me.

Would any of you say it would be ok to turn her out while I am away, it will be for four nights and my friend can give her antibiotics at night when she brings hers up for their tea then turn her back out.

By the way I forgot to say that she is her normal self not showing any signs of a problem a part from the snotty she still gallops around the field like a idiot.

Thanks for any help.
 
Personally i would turn her out, if she has been on the a/b's for 3 weeks i wouldn't think a few nights would make much difference. Bring her in again when you get back, and have a nice time.
 
i would ov thought she'd be better of out anyway the hay etc isnt that good at the minute so the dust in and around her stable probably wont be helping her problem if shes like my horse she probably prefairs been out
 
Would she be out alone or with others? Is she infectious? If she's not going to pass on her infection to the others I'd chuck her out.
 
Thank you to every one, She isn't infectious as its a blocked sinus and she is going out during the day with her three field mates which two of them stops out at night.
