Yeah he picked up some kind of respiratory bug. He's on antibiotic pills. If he isn't ok by Monday my vet will probably put him on something else but I think he's kicking it. He's still sick but I'm seeing some improvement. I have just enough knowlege to scare me. I worry about him colicing or floundering or encephalitis (the vet tech gave me that one to fret over:')

Yeah, I hate it when my horses turn into fish.

All kidding aside, my horse Bud came down with strangles a few years ago, even though he's vaccinated for everything under the sun. He wouldn't eat and he was lethargic so I took his temp, it was 103, so I called the vet out. Started him on antibiotics and he was much better in a few days.
