I got a horse(fjord sad to say) in for training that has the STRANGEST bad habit, at least I think it's a bad habit. She SLOBBERS all the time. Or more so when stressed it seems. She was tested for ulcers, scoped and x-rayed and all kinds of tests done. Tests found nothing physically wrong with her. Owners brought her to a very good clinic for all the tests too. Personally , I think it's like cribbing, she found out how to make slobber and it comforts her in same way. Anyone ever seen or heard of this before??? Oh, and it's not from Red Clover, I"ve seen that and that is much more watery. THIS IS THICK, plus no Red Clover at her place or mine. Patti Jo Walter Hi, Just going to throw out a thought here. Heavy slobbering just isn't normal. I had a friend who had a couple of horses with this problem. After much money spent with the Vet, she found out they had "guttural pouch infections". >From what her Vet said it is very hard to diagnose and many Vet do not know about it. But it does cause large amounts of slobbering. If the above has been ruled out.... Would also look at possible allergy with the horse's hay or environment.
