[RC] Advice on possible breathing problems? - Sarah W

I am scheduled to go pick up a few colts this weekend.
The seller just called to advise of the vet check
outcome - one of the colts was injuried in the neck
while out with the herd.  He has no visible bumps, but
they can feel bumps on the inside of the neck under
the skin.  The vet is concerned about damage to the
respiratory pathway, but does not know without further
probing.  From what they could tell, the horse is not
in any pain to the touch, and they drained the bumps
to only find clear fluids.  The seller is offering
another colt to me at the same price if I decide not
to take this one because of this injury.

Has anyone had any experience with this type of
injury?  What are the chances of severe damage that
will effect the breathing process?

Any advice is appreciated, I have to let her know what
I will do in the next couple hours so she has time to
get another health certificate pulled if I decide to
take the other colt.

Thanks,
Sarah
