sick horse

Hi Angelgirl,I've never heard of it but I guess anything is possible.We just had a new baby.If you want to see him http://public.fotki.com/labatore/sables-new-baby-boy/ Do you think it could be allergies?Our 6 yo gelding coughs,has runny eyes,nose every spring and it goes as we get into summer...Vet suspects he's allergic to something.

Since having horses around you makes you easily get sick, there is one good thing which you can do about it. Take plenty of water each day, 2 to 3 liters will be excellent. Take natural fruit juices to boost your immune system. Sodium ascorbate, a natural source of vitamin C, will be best to maintain as part of your daily routine in terms of nutrition, you can ask your doctor's opinion about this. Two 500mg capsules 15 to 30 minutes before meals will do you great. Remember that it will have to be a natural vitamin C. The ones which have been synthetically formulated are bad for us if consumed continuously beyond a month, whereas, the natural ones can be consumed forever and will be effective until our last days.

I think we can catch things from our animals as well. We used to have a dog and when he was sick with a cold it just seemed I would come down sick not to long after. It seems to me germs or germs and I don't think they care who they invade. I don't think they think whether it is human or animal. So when you notice one of your animals is sick just start making sure you have plenty of fluids in your system because that is one of the ways to keep from getting sick and if you come down sick helps you to get over it.
