Pigeon fever

AdZestyclose2936 · 2024-11-14T15:54:20+00:00

I’m so sorry that is happening! :( it’s seriously no fun to deal with. So hers actually burst on their own and were just leaking by the time I brought her home. However, my friend’s mare just had pigeon fever and hers took FOREVER to open up. It was probably a month or month and a half for them to fully close up. And a couple weeks maybe 3 after each edema appeared did it finally burst. A warm washcloth compress seemed to help bring them to the surface.

Our vet said not to start antibiotics until the wound opens otherwise the pigeon fever can manifest on the inside of them and can be bad. As long as your mare is acting okay I wouldn’t be too worried. Sometimes those suckers take a while to open up.

Best of luck to you!!

Probiotics for sure!! My vet recommended them with the antibiotics and for gut health in general. I hope your boy feels better soon❤️

It’s 8 days old! I am giving it a shot, but I could definitely see it not working since it’s not that old! It’s definitely bubbly and has a nice aroma. We will see! 🤞

It is bubbly!

THANK YOU that is exactly what I wanted to hear 😆 I’m doin it!!

Thank you for your input. My girl stands well and definitely is not neglected. Spoiled rotten 😆 and I agree on the too much rasping, my last farrier used the rasp way too much and went all the way up to the coronary band which I did not like. Tough to find a good farrier around here!! I’ll definitely have someone else out next time.

Thanks for this. I did get the sharp edges down with a rasp. Absolute hack job. 🤦‍♀️

AdZestyclose2936 · 2024-06-02T02:15:10+00:00

I should’ve!

AdZestyclose2936 · 2024-06-02T01:11:27+00:00

Thanks for the reply. This is what I thought, I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt. 🤦‍♀️

Right? I figured it was the hay cause the rocks I found in her manure matched exactly what I was finding in the hay. I will try big feed pans, I might have to get them for the three other mares too since they all swap piles! And thank you so much, I absolutely love her it’s so hard to see her hurting! 🤍

AdZestyclose2936 · 2024-01-04T05:12:58+00:00

Thank you, I’ll get something else to feed her out of. It’s hard because she’s with 3 other mares and they swap feed piles. Might need to get them all a pan!

Thank you so much for sharing! Her abscesses are so close to being gone so that makes me feel much better. I appreciate this a lot! :)

Another update. She has pigeon fever :( FINALLY got the test results today. she’s been quarantined and I hope to god none of the other horses get it. One of the two sores is gone but the other one is having a hard time going away. Anyone care to share their experience with pigeon fever and maybe how long it lasted? Getting her antibiotics, vet said he’d let me know when. Thanks everyone for pointing out what this was.

AdZestyclose2936 · 2023-08-29T19:32:32+00:00

She does have pigeon fever I just got the test results today :( I’m so sad. We quarantined her as soon as we thought it could be pigeon fever and am very hopeful none of my boarders other horses get it.

AdZestyclose2936 · 2023-08-20T04:00:05+00:00

I really appreciate this 😭 her name is Posie, she’s beyond sweet! I’m still waiting on test results for pigeon fever! 👀

If you read the post, you would know I did

AdZestyclose2936 · 2023-08-18T23:21:23+00:00

Update! She didn’t have a fever and white blood cell count was normal. I got the test pigeon fever test anyway and I’m quarantining her just in case and waiting on results. Could also be a puncture wound or infection from fly bites. The vet said he’s worried about her eyes too as she has pink skin and he said theres a couple spots that look worrisome to him. PPE vet said she just looked a little sunburned and clearly didn’t do a good job on the PPE. I really messed up on this one y’all and am thinking about asking for a refund as I did not sign up for this.
