RE: [RC] EIPH bleeder??? - Susan E. Garlinghouse, DVMFair enough---the (happily) few I've seen had a history of some stinky nasal discharge, so they probably also had a bacterial component to it. But, I did see one that didn't have other symptoms except for intermittent bleeding, right up to the point he came in gushing blood and bled out within minutes. Never had much of a chance to get history on that one. Susan Garlinghouse, DVM I would add, though, that you don't always see other symptoms! I lost a really lovely mare this way.

Came out one morning and found her dead, bled out through the nose, and it was an erosion >in a gutteral pouch... So yes, ditto what Susan said--get the horse scoped, and see if you can find out where the blood is >coming from.
