Has anyone had this happen and what might be the cause?
Since Thursday, my 3 yr old gelding has had temperature fluctuations from normal to 104. The vet has been out to treat him for fever twice however, there are no other symptons.
He is eating but very little. He is drinking water, taking bran mash, having bowel movements and urinating. Breathing is somewhat strained but not too much. Feet are not warm and so foundering has hopefully not taken place.
The vet is telling me that after four days of feeling crappy with fever, and no other symptons such as swelling, etc. there's not much to do but treat the fever.
He is very quiet and moves very slowly. Not wobbling or anything like that. Just feeling crappy. We are on the fourth day and I'm worried.
Any opinions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
