I was in and out this morning and caught a few min of Byk\'s show, don\'t even know who the guest was. He said Nyquist was treated with antibiotics. Does anyone else have that as a fact? I had not seen or heard that he was treated only the elevated WBC count and that he did not have a temperature. It was 5 weeks out but still I don\'t like it if he was treated.
FWIW Have not heard that at all.
Nyquist was treated for a couple of days never spiking fever, a shipping/stress slightly high white count......zero on a scale of 1-10.Also, observers saw a very alert Nyquist walking shed row for two days.
....thems the reports.
Only thing I saw was a vitamin bag, no antibiotics..
Like MIFF said a 0 on the 1-10 scale.
Looking for a repeat of \"Ill Have Another\" type of ride
Antibiotics were reportedly used as a precaution, along with jugs, electrolytes.Hear it was for 2 days.
Please show me your source of the antibiotics being used.
Saw nothing anywhere stating that..
Doug O\'Neill in tv interview and it\'s irrelevant as to how Nyquist will run. Antibiotics used for 4-7 days with fever,snots,repeated high white blood count debilitated horse a different story than this.
Agree regarding to how he would run.
I asked because I was following this very closely as he is my #1 horse right now. If there are better sources out there that I could follow I would like to know about them.
Thanks
John
John,
Since you are very into Nyquist, he was definitely on antibiotics as preventative, absolutely confirmed. Seems fine and is training fine. A top vet at Kee said its a zero on a 1-10 scale, in her opinion,as to how Nyquist will perform in Derby.
