  • If the vet hadn't checked him out, I'd say some sort of congestive heart failure....... how sad ':('  Some sort of virus except the temp isn't bad.......  Well, I certainly hope the vet can sort it out.
  • I am certainly no expert but it could be that it is some form of poisoning that your vet hasn't picked up on? Did he do bloodwork because that could help identify the problem. Im so sorry to hear about your friends horse and i hope it get better soon!
