Bubs had a chill 2 weeks ago vet came out she was given bute and antibiotics and box rest. She got better but ever since she hasn't been herself. Vet was out last week to vaccinate her and checked her over and said she is ok. But she isn't acting like Bubbles.

She is very lethargic, very quiet, not really drinking much compared to before (she normally drinks loads), her eyes are half closed most of the time, she isn't really bothering about much (tonight Sofi had escaped and was in her field I caught Sof and left all the gates open so Bubs could follow, she came halfway then just stood there whickering. After I'd put Sofi in I had to go back for Bubs (normally she'd of trotted up to the stables if I'd of left gates open). She also tripped over a pole in the school on her way out this morning, like she hadn't even noticed it on the floor.
OH says she was out yesterday and when he took Sofi in Bubbles galloped up the field. And she will go for the occasional gallop round but I don't know, can't put my finger on it...

sorry just needed to vent

Maybe she is still feeling a bit crap..like we do after we have had a cold. She may need some time recovering from recovering if that makes sense :p

Or she could just be suffering from SAD...its that time of year :p:rolleyes:

I hope she goes back to her grumpy self soon. Like it's been said she might have SAD. Do you get on her much at the moment?
Just keep an eye on her. You know her really well, i'm sure you'll look after her.
She might perk back up in a few days.

she hasn't been ridden since before her chill (so a couple of weeks) as she hasn't been herself and didn't want to get on her if she is feeling unwell.

Might get on her at the weekend and see if she perks up. She was a bit brighter this evening
