If your horse has a common cold then the normal symptoms are:
- watery discharge from the nose, but gradually becomes more white grey, and may become quite a thick pus-like discharge,
-sometimes a cough is also present,
-your horse might have a slight temperature.
A cold usually makes horses a little grumpy and unwilling to do things. They may be put off their food and reluctent to run around. You will most likely notice a change in their temprement, the same way people feel like when we have a cold.
If your horse has a cold then you should:
-keep your horse warm and stop riding him,
-keep him away from other horses/ponies,
-dampen his feed because he may have a sore throat and any dust may further irritate his lungs.
After a few days, if he is not feeling better then you should call the vet.
Hope it helped :)
Check for fever-keep equine thermometer on hand in first aid kit. If your horse has a temp. of over 101 call your vet. These types of viruses may turn bacterial and the horse may need an antibiotic. If he has a cough your vet can prescribe a cough syrup also.
