Hi, needing a little bit of advise please!!
I noticed my horse started on coughing on friday. He has no discharge from his nose, but he does seem a little quieter than normal.
A couple of the other horses on the yard have seemed a little off colour but none of them are coughing & seem back to their normal selves now.
I am giving him NAF kof-eze morning & night. I walked him out lightly on sun for half an hour. I have continued turning him out as presumably being out is better than in but am wondering whether this is something which I should let run its course, or should I get him seen by a vet? Or only see a vet if it worsens? Other than the actual cough he seems ok.
Even after donkeys years of horses I;ve never actually had one which developed a cough or cold so i'm not sure of the ins & outs.
Your advice woudl be much appreciated!! x
