My horse Bounty had a very bad cold 2 weeks ago and I had to treat him with a course of antibiotics. His vet was interstate attending a course so I had to use a new vet. I get a bit aprehensive if I cannot use him. I totally trust my horses' vet. But she was a female horse vet from Cranbourne what I thought was great. We do need more women horse vets out there. Horse vets are incredibly busy bees. Everything went well in the end. Bounty bad cough and runny nose is finished now and he's back in good health. He had airways inflammation. Luckily it wasn't contagious so James my old thoroughbred was safe. I can give them muscle injections no problem but with James I have to hide the seringe and needle otherwise he's out of there in a flash. I usually do it on him while he's eating. He's so much into food that he doesn't even notice it coming.
