Re: [RC] [RC] Putrid pus from left nostril - Dyane Smith


The vet looked up his nose and didn't see anything.  The vet was thinking
endoscope, but x-rays might be easier on him.  We're pretty buried in snow
right now, but in a few days, I should be able to move the trailer.  I'll
propose it.

Thanks, Raven.

my 15 year old gelding (endurance horse hopeful) had pus coming out
of his left nostril.

Did you check to make sure he didn't have anything "stuck up" in his
nasal passage?

My old horse Banjo had an abscessed tooth and he had a pus/muccus
draining from his right nostril. The odor was horrible.

We took Banjo to the U of MN Vet clinic, in order to determine he had
a tooth abscess they had to x-ray his head.  The options were surgery
to remove the tooth or take  Banjo home and give him massize doses of
SMZ to fight the infection.  Banjo was about 30 at the time, and the
vets thought the surgery might have killed him, so we opt to take him
home. Four months of antibiotics did the trick. \

Banjo never stopped eating or drinking. He actually seemed like he was
in no pain. But..man, he had buckets of muccus draining from his nose
and the odor was so bad.

Keep us updated and bright healing light sent to your horse.
