But you don't know what's wrong!
Firstly I thought Tinner had choke, there was coughing and kind of reaching forward. Not sweating, respiratory 80 per minute, put him in an empty stable and kept an eye on him for half an hour, had a chat with my excellent and long term vet who knows me and the horse and subsequently came out, did temp, internal, teeth and checked mouth, listened to insides sounds which were reassuringly noisy, did general observations, revisited Tinner's past (sort of toxic laminitis some years ago, poss AM), and the conclusion - we just don't know what it is. Left him for an hour with water only and when I got back to him he had dunged and really wanted to get out (mine live out), vet said turn out and watch him and now he's out he has had a wee and is grazing and chasing after a bit of hay, and the breathing is the same.
So much head scratching and wondering if it is something triggering a kind of allergic reaction,we will have to see how he is over the next few days, I have never had this kind of problem which is hard to diagnose - anyone else have a horse with similar symptoms?!
