You might have heard of the sequence of terms to describe data: Nominal, Ordinal, Interval and Ratio. They were used quite extensively but have begun to fall out of favor.These terms are used to describe types of data and by some to dictate the appropriate statistical test to use.atio data is interval data with a natural zero point. For example, time is ratio since 0 time is meaningful. Degrees Kelvin has a 0 point (absolute 0) and the steps in both these scales have the same degree of magnitude.
Runny Nose: Should You Call the Vet?By Kentucky Equine Research Staff Â· March 10, 2011. A little bit of clear nasal discharge is not uncommon after healthy horses exercise or play energetically. Owners might also see this type of discharge if a horse has been eating hay, and most of the time this runny nose is simply a harmless result of slight irritation from fast breathing or exposure to low levels of dust.
My T-bred gelding came down with a runny nose with no other symptoms (no fever or cough, eating normally). After 2 weeks of runny nose the vet came out and looked at him and said that he thought it was allergies and gave him antihistamines. He also said that if it persisted then he might have to drain the glands in his throat. I just read that Dr O said that allergies don't normally cause runny noses.
