Ban has perked up in himself A LOT in the last few days (virus) but his breathing is still not 100%.
He can do more work than before without sweating up, although this is out hacking as the school is very boggy, I went for an hours hack yest which included trotting up a hill and cantering a few times on the flat and he seemed to cope well (Ban buggered off 3 times
)
His breathing is still laboured and his resp rate is higher than it should be ( there are times when it is normal a 16 bpm) it is not AS BAD it was but I find myself constantly worrying and not wanting to ride him.
Just wondering if it is "normal" for a virally related resp problem to tke so long to clear up
( Vets didn't see the need for meds but I brought him some pick me up (nettex) as it has vit b12, echenatia (sp?) and iron)
