Sid's new field companion, tentatively named Twiggy, has had a snotty nose since she arrived last Friday.
She is still in my small school area so that she doesn't come into contact with any horses (other than Sid, who can touch her, though he doesn't seem to care to). Since she arrived she has had a trickle of snot from her left nostril. Sid is fine.
She doesn't have a temperature, isn't coughing, hasn't got raised glands or any other lumps or bumps, is bright, inquisitive and trotting about her space getting to know us all.
I don't have much experience with rhinoviruses in horses. How long should I leave her before allowing her out on the track? I don't want to upset other liveries or infect their horses with her cold.
