Goopy, gunky nose on Kasane

Today, when I went to the barn I noticed that she had a serious runny nose. No cough, no fever, nothing that would indicate an infection like yellow, smelly discharge. Acting normal, except for the amount of green goo oozing from her nose all over her hay pile. There were green flecks in the ooze like specs of grass. Gross.

Her appetite is normal. Everything seems fine. I took her on an easy walk around the farm. She coughed a little when we started off but otherwise seemed to be fine. She liked the grazing back by Breezy’s pasture.

I’ll call the vet tomorrow. Most likely she’s just caught something mild and will be over it in a few days. We haven’t had any new horses come through the barn, so hopefully nothing contagious came through. No one else has gotten sick.

    Isis is thoroughly pissed at me. I’ve purchased a grazing muzzle for her to wear in hopes that it will reduce the amount of grass she is eating. She had it on for the first time on Saturday. She was not a happy camper. The grass in her diet paddock (dry lot) was so low…

This will be a new adventure for both of us….
