Ok, a year ago my welsh cob x connie had a virus, which left him, lethargic, generally "down", lacking in red bloodcells, and with nazel discharge and a cough, the virus was treated with antibiotics and ventipullmin (sp?) and tests were done last november (blood tests) and the vet announced my cob fit to go again.
Ever since I dont really think he has been 100%
Its hard to describe, some days he's bouncing about allover, and others he's really lacking power and enthusiasm, This was never a problem before the virus, and he's only 11 so its not as if he's slowing down with old age
Tests are showing clear, and I dont really want to start pumping him with supliments incase im masking a real problem.
On days when hes lethargic, its not just been ridden, hes even less alert in the stable, been groomed etc.
There is no pattern between his energy levels and heat / weather / time of day ridden, or any of the obvious varying factors
After I ride him he sometimes has a white discharge of medium consistency, but no cough and his breathing seems fine.
If anything Id say he's his usual self after his day off, but as the week goes on, he fades. and becomes more tired towards the end of the week, but he's almost at full fitness now
Im really worried, but seen as blood tests are coming back clear, vets arnet really interested in anything else
Any suggestions xx
