angel is still breathing faster than i'd think normal :rolleyes: she still lives out but gets soaked hay and dampened feed every night. the field is boggy so i doubt it's a dust issue. vet saw her a couple of months back and said she might possibly be asthmatic of sorts or have COPD (RAO?!).
weird thing is, she is breathing quite fast, but seems absolutely fine otherwise. she is not reluctant to work, she will go fast on her own accord (when she feels the urge to do so!) and has been spotted galopping round the field etc. am i right thinking she'd be reluctant to do that if she had trouble breathing?
at the mo she also gets respiratory herbs in her feed (wendall's at the moment but am looking into global herb stuff) and has a resoiratory horselyx thing in her stable (like a giant cough sweet!).
also, she doesnt cough and doesnt have a snotty nose either ...
should i be worried or not?
