RE: [RC] [RC] Problem with my horse - Nancy MittsDoes this horse live outside? Could the "big winds" have blown leaves/branches into her area? I'm thinking the symptoms could be from ingesting something toxic, such as wilting leaves wild cherry among others). I've heard that horses can sometimes develop a "taste" for harmful things once they have eaten them.Nancy Mitts From: Sheri Thompson <jewlsmadmax@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hi, I am trying to get any information I can on what is possibly going on with my horse. I have a 12 year old arabian mare that as of 4/12/07 has been ?off? (not her usual self). We had some really big winds on that day and ever since she will not eat her supplements and is a little picky about her hay (she usually tears it up). She wants to eat dirt, shavings, dried weeds and mostly only eats the stem of the alfalfa, not too much leaf and needless to say she is losing weight. She drinks a lot and pees a lot and her urine is kind of clear which is unusual for her (her stall is a mess) but her poops are hard even though she is drinking a lot and blood work showed she was slightly dehydrated She doesn?t look as bright eyed as usual and is a bit lethargic, doesn?t hold her head as high as usual, she holds it more out then up. She usually has a lot of energy out on the trail but now is calm. _________________________________________________________________ Like the way Microsoft Office Outlook works?
