Re: [RC] Putrid pus from left nostril - Dyane SmithThanks, Truman. I am concerned. Especially since, a few years ago, my older horse had his eye swell up and a discharge from the eye because of an oral fistula, but he never smelled bad.

Guess two guttrual pouch infection. The "awful smell" is not a good sign. This is something your vet should check out in detail. Dyane Smith wrote:Has anyone had experience with this? This morning, when my vet was here to give vaccinations, we found that my 15 year old gelding (endurance horse hopeful) had pus coming out of his left nostril. His temperature is normal. The vet couldn't find hear any problems in his sinuses (he tapped on them the way you would to see if a melon is ripe). His lungs sound okay. He's eating and pooping. He's a little bit subdued, but still plays some. But the smell is awful! For the moment, we are stumped. Has anyone else had this problem? What is it? What did you do?
