B is the only one getting sick so frequently, the other horses seem to either never get sick or maybe once every few years. I feel like with her, if there's something to be caught, she catches it! Maybe she is just more social than most...Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438372155463437107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-56664790882902520212017-10-05T13:50:43.072-07:002017-10-05T13:50:43.072-07:00That's what happened a couple of years ago..b...That's what happened a couple of years ago..bad cough, maybe COPD, but now we think actually a virus that turned into a longer term infection.

I feel you!! And yeah viruses that often are definitely not normal, though if the horses in your barn are traveling/showing they definitely would be prone to picking up more random germs. But still shouldn't be getting everyone sick so frequently!

Thank you for that. I live in fear of COPD because of his respiratory infection when I met him, that took months to clear up. And the cough/snort thing he does remained. Like others said, recurring viruses are not normal, and I don't trust barn owners who say it's nothing serious. You know it's bad when you see phlegm on the sides of the barn, from your horse expelling it while coughing.

LOL. And why they not feed her in a haynet? that would annoy me so much! I hope you get a LOA soon! She looks gorgeous to me even if she is a bit under the weather.
