Last night when I went to get hay for my horses, I found a dead
bluebird on the ground. Didn't look like anything killed it.
No chew marks, feathers seemed to be all find, except the side it was
laying on was flattened. How many days can they test for WNV?
Last year one of the horses became sick. We had just
brought our other horses back from pasture and strangles was taking it's
course on a couple of them. (I don't know where my horses are
getting the strangles from when they are at pasture. Can they
get it from deer or livestock?) I thought the other horse may have
had strangles since it had been around, but he didn't show the typical
signs of strangles. He was stiff or just didn't want to move and
when he moved it was very slow. I never noticed any twitching.
It came and went in less than a week. None of my other horses showed
any signs of what this horse had. He's an older horse, around 22
years old.
Any suggestions on the bird? Or what that horse may have
had?
Thanks
Shelley
