My lovely boy has had clear yellow runny nose for 2 days, both nostrils. At first I thought it was because he enjoys a snuffle in the dirt but I've ruled that out being the reason for the colouration.
He's eating, drinking, pooping and working happily enough, nothing out of the norm.
I've scared myself silly as I googled it and found some information (amongst others) that suggested it can be an early indicator of strangles. We have had a new horse join the yard recently.
I'd like to know please - is there anything else I should check? I need to do his temperature but couldn't find my thermometer so will have to get another. I'm a natural worrier and I don't know whether to get the vet out just in case, or observe for a few days? I'd appreciate some advice please.
