  Went out to finally bathe and give shots (ee,we, tet) after  hectic 
schedule last couple weeks-- other than sheeting and quick brushoff and 
feeding --- Fed today and was getting ready to bathe and give shots, when 
noticed my mare has puffy cheeks, both jaws into her throatlatch.
  Checked my vet books, called my trainer daughter, my vets-  Out of town.
   Horses at home, closed herd, no other horse contact --Our older horse 
came home in Sept. or so. Herd been together for years, except for mini 
donkey,him  10 months.
  No history of illness, choked twice , before I put rocks in her bucket, 
eats slower now.
    Feed round bale hay, bermuda/fescue .. same  farmer, never moldy, under 
cover, usually not weedy, but this one has some, Alabama hay.. She gets some 
beetpulp, bit of 10% pellets,  few alphalfa pellts, I mean few,  Flax seed.  
But stormy last few days.
   On pretty much drylot ,rather mud lot, .. Been real wet and pretty warm 
this winter. Let everyone out on grass last night , had been gone all day 
,so hadn't seen anyone closeup since Tue. Small pasture, has fescue, 
bermuda, white clover and assorted Southern weeds, grass very short.Temp 
inthe 50's to 60's last week or so.
   No marks, the horses don't pick on each other , once in a blue moon R 
may nip at her neck if she tries to walk into his stall at feeding time.Only 
mare.10 yr old.Hasn't been off the place in 5 years. Current on W. Nile, 
needs her  we,ee, tet.(but held off giving today). She is a bit lethargic, 
temp 99.9, gums pale, pale  pink. Teeth are in good shape. She is grazing .
  Any ideas? Daughter suggested give her banamine and maybe start 
Sulfa,.... one....that  antiobiotic with the long name?
