[RC] Anemia - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Rachel K. enduranceriderwannabe@xxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== What are common causes of anemia (low red blood cell count, around 25% hematocrit) in horses? What are the preferred treatments for each cause? How does one differentiate between the causes to know the proper treatment? At what point does anemia preclude a horse from doing endurance? Is an anemic horse more likely to crash than a non-anemic horse? How much supplemental iron is too much? Lots of references to iron toxicity, but nothing that gives a number.
