Our new loan mare arrived with a cough 8 weeks ago , its gone now and now MY poor lad has got a nasty cough! was told to give him koff and garlic, hes also on echinacia, but it doesnt seem to be doing anything!...any suggestions, i think its definately not anything other than a cold! can you use human cough medicine, does it work!...he only coughs occassionaly but when hes cantering around it starts a right episode, bless him, hes also getting a snotty nose too...I though if he gets any worse or no better by monday i think i'll get the vet out just in case, i rang them and they said give it a few days there is alot of it around...can anyone suggest anything i might have at home or can get from supermarket, horsey shops will be closed by the time i get there...
