| 1757.1 | Where did I put the thermometer? | SWAM2::MASSEY_VI | It's all in the cue | Wed Jun 16 1993 13:12 | 12 |
| Now that you mention it...........
One of our mares has been coughing a bit. I thought it was the new
shipment of hay, it seemed finer than the other hay we have gotten. I
guess I will take her temp tonight and see if she has a fever.
Also, I remeber a vet telling me one time that some viruses will stay
in the ground untill the right conditions will release the spores, just
like pollen I guess. We had an outbreak of STrangles every year and
the vet said the pasture probably carried it.

| A few weeks ago, Algiers was coughing a bit like he had dust. It
happened when we were warming up, off and on for a week or 2. It was
so bad one night that I got off him and loosened his girth, took him
back to his stall and watched him. It cleared up eventually by itself.
And just the other night, someone else's horse was coughing the same
way. I think she said it had been happening for a couple days.

| 1757.3 | could it be pollen? | ALFA1::COOK | Chips R Us | Fri Jun 18 1993 11:56 | 14 |
| I wonder if the air quality (pollen-laden) could be bothering them?
We've also had some coughing in our barn...just dry coughs like dust
from the paddock was bothering them. Or, in our case, could it be
that the little turkeys beat it out to the sand paddock and flop down
and roll in the sand as soon as I let them out in the morning? You
should see 9 horses out there with half of them on their backs with
their feet in the air and the other half waiting their turn. I'd
cough too from all the dust they stir up!
But, seriously, the pollen is really thick right now. I used to have
a black car, now it's a lovely shade of yellow.

| 1757.4 | who knows? | CARTUN::MISTOVICH | depraved soul | Fri Jun 18 1993 14:21 | 4 |
| Possibly, although Algiers had the problem a 6+ weeks ago and has been
fine for 3+ weeks, and the other horse just started this week.

| 1757.5 | How long does it take to clear up?? | IRNBRU::MICHELLE | ...dinosaur eat man,woman inherit the earth | Wed May 31 1995 10:48 | 26 |

My horse has exactly the same condition as the base note and I was
wanting a bit of advice.
Shannon has a gone off her hard feed although she will still eat the
carrots and grass but when she does eat she started coughing as if
she has something stuck in her throat.
She was running a very slight temperature and no running nose BUT she
just so miserable it is heart breaking. I had the vet out a couple of
days ago and he gave her an antibiotic injection which is suppost
to last five days. I have not seen her today yet but she showed little
improvement yesterday and it is driving me nuts with worry.
How long do these thing take to clear up?
I guess I will know when she is feeling better but I read that on
no occasion should you ride a horse with a cough.
How long do I give her after she is better before riding? Two weeks,
Three weeks? Not having had a horse with a cough before what does
everyone think?
Thanks
Michelle
