This message is from: "cnielsen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi - I know this may sound crazy but I had a yearling with a goopy nose last year--I put some Vicks balm in his nose and it seemed to clear him out in a couple days. I did it twice a day, just a finger full or so right inside his nose, it loosened his sinuses up at first and gobs of "snot" came out but then it was way less and he seemed he felt better too. he was on antibiotic too-- but the Vicks was more of an immediate remedy. hope you find something that helps and he's feeling better soon.
