Hello. My horse has developed a runny nose and this is now clear fluids. The cough is annoying for her but not constant. I recently moved her to a new boarding facility and she has had it for about five days now. She is eating like crazy and pooping normally. Should I be concerned?

Sometimes a viral cough can take a while to clear (just like us). If she's off food or develops a high temp definitely get the vet. Likewise if the cough persists beyond a few weeks. The vet would need to scope and perform either a BAL or tracheal wash.

@@YourVetOnline Is there a way of telling that it is indeed viral and not bacterial. She was well and fine until I moved her. Now she is around dust and mud and a prairie when before it was all treed property. I don't want her getting any other horses ill. She is peppy and hungry as ever during this. I looked at the color of the discharge from her one nostril and it has really improved in color, perhaps she is healing already?

Hey my cat has been eating clothes . Is that a problem what do I do

[@YourVetOnline]

Yes it's definitely a problem. Make sure you put all your clothes away so that your cat can't access them.
