I was talking to Eddie about that last week. I may draw some and take it in Monday. I'll see what or if the vet wants. She gets a lot of colds but other horses are sick when she is and it's always after a cold/rainy spell. That's why I was asking about vitamins. . She doesn't look sick. She had to stop and blow that stuff out and seemed a little tired and I let her rest a few minutes. It may just be a cold again. Just strange the one side draining and she has a knot on the other. I have to go back out there this evening. I'll see hows she's doing. As long as I finish it up a dose of AB shouldn't hurt even if viral. I couldn't have got my vet out today and that is all the house vet would probably do. The owner will be back this evening and she's going to look at her too.
Ok, this doesn't sound as bad as your first post.Take a picture of the knot. I'd be interested in seeing it in case it is strangles. I've never seen it.
Maybe you worry to much:). I've had horses blow crap from their noses, I've had them seem tired, I do the same thing some days. It can mean nothing. Especially if there is no temp. Like Hair said tho, I wasn't there, I haven't seen her. Sometimes I/they will perk up and seem better after some exercise.
I'm just trying to say, don't read illness into every bit of snot, cough, tiredness you see and I don't know that you do. With the weather the way it's been, she just may have allergies.
Anyway, hope she is better soon.

I was reading this post again. Where is the knot? I think, but I'm not sure, that the swellings they get from strangles is underneath, like between their jaws.
