Hi folks, just having a winge really, just bought a lovely new 15.2hh Chestnut Cob, had him vetted, no problems. Got him home and within a week he is coughing with a snotty nostrils (white thick creamy colour).
Got vet out who said he has a cold, gave us antibiotics and ventupulin.
He lives out, we are soaking his hay. This was about 10 days ago that he was diagnosed but he is still coughing! Vet says just to keep resting him until the inflammation in his throat goes down.
Any supplements or things I can try to help him make a speedier recovery? Its so frustrating as I have this new horse who I can't ride, gah!
We wormed him and he had first jabs when we got him so wonder if that could have triggered matters.
Anyway, I am rambling.
Large amounts of sympathy required, please
