Spring Cough Again

Last spring Liam developed a cough.  He only coughed when he was ridden and I treated him for 2 months with Cough Free and MSM.  The combination seemed to keep the cough at bay.  The cough then went away mid June and he has been fine ever since. 

Well the annoying cough has returned.  Same time new year.  I am thinking it might be allergies.  Of course the vet was here just last Friday giving Liam his second round of shots, but Liam waits to develop the cough on Sunday so I can't easily ask the vet about it and have her listen to his lungs, grrr...  There is no nasal discharge or temperature.  Just a dry cough when exercising. 

Heading to the tack store today to pick up the supplements.  Liam will now be syringed every day with apple sauce the supplements.  Prince Liam will not eat the supplements in his food...  If this doesn't work again this year I will be making a phone call to the vet.

Not much to report on the riding front.  Had three good hacks last week.   I didn't get down the mountain for a jump school, it was a crazy week.  Will hopefully get a jump school in Thursday before I go away for the weekend. 

Liam is finally down to just a light turnout sheet.  Spring is a coming!!!
