hi, I just went outside to take some pics of the colts as they are changing color. I noticed Misty had her head up really high and fluid all over the ground. She is losing pools of gunk from her nose, whenever she puts it low. She isn't eating or anything. She was ok this morning and finished her feed.........should I call a vet, or I know this sounds stupid, but do horses get common colds? I have a taken a pic of her with head up that I can post........
I cant get hold of deaconjim right now : (
Define pools. Horses get colds but that generally doesn't involve enough drainage to hit the ground. From what you are describing, it doesn't sound like a cold.
They do get colds and flus... and a snotty nose does mean infection of some kind. Have they been vaccinated for the common viruses, rhino/flu/?
I wouldn't ignore it... I'd call and ask the vet.
