My 3 year old Gelding has recently been laying down at least a couple times a day. I really started to notice it Friday when I left the house, thought nothing of it til Saturday when he was down twice.
-No change in appetite
-No rolling, sweating, or discomfort
-Normal movements when up (from what I can see at least)
-Overdue for trim (although i go longer in the winter cuz his hooves don't grow)
-Been nice lately, for about the last week... (in the high 30's to mid 40's)
-Gets up when I ask him to
those are kinda the facts that I know.
I did have to put my TB down 2 weeks ago tomorrow (due to liver failure)... they were really attached, could he be depressed? I'm at a loss right now. I'm gonna call the farrier tomorrow and get him out in case it's that simple. Will probably place a call to the vet too just to ask him a few questions about it.
Also, when the vet was out here he did the yearly's on my 2 and pulled coggins... if something were to be virally wrong would it show up on there or would they have to test specifically for something?
Thanks guys!
