Hydration key to large animal health
You can help your large animals beat the heat of the summer by making sure they have lots of cool, clean, fresh water available. But be sure they don’t drink lots of water in a short period of time, which can cause colic, according to the experts at Texas A&M University. An average size work horse can drink upwards of 25 gallons of water per day when the temperatures get above 70 degrees.
A horse’s coat should be clipped short and its mane and tail trimmed during hot summer months. Call a veterinarian at the first signs of heat stroke, which can be elevated respiration or pulse in an inactive horse or body temperature above 103 degrees or irregular heart beat in any horse.
To test for dehydration, pinch the skin around the horses neck to see if it quickly snaps back. If it slowly collapses, you should quickly call for professional help.
For all animals of any size, Highway 29 Veterinary provides the best possible medical, surgical and dental care. The staff is always prepared to help animal owners in the Highland Lakes keep their charges healthy and treat those that are injured.
