[RC] Does feeding cause HR to hang? - Lucy Chaplin Trumbull

A friend from England recently expressed surprise that I let
Roo munch through a sloppy pan of BP + LMF at the end
of a ride before vetting through. She asked me didn't it cause
his heart rate to stay up?

I shrugged and said he was hungry and I'd rather he settled a
little and got good gut sounds than rush to vet through immediately
upon finishing.

But my question is - is she correct? I have heard that eating will
keep the HR up - but always thought that meant eating *while*
doing PnRs.

Does letting them munch a pan of slurry keep the HR up?
Roo's pulse wasn't great at the end of the ride when we finally
did get down to the vet, but it was a tough ride. Now I'm wondering
if his eating habits had anything to do with it?
