Re: [RC] Does feeding cause HR to hang? - Maggie MieskeI have seen Malik's HR hang a little bit only to drop immediately when allowed to grab a few mouthfuls of grass. I think anxiety over wanting to eat or being hungry was the cause (vet agreed). After that, we made sure to allow him an apple or some handfuls of hay or grass while waiting and have had no problems.

all that is good and fair. It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on yesterdays." Ralph Waldo Emerson From: Lucy Chaplin Trumbull <elsietee@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, July 6, 2009 9:08:04 PM Subject: [RC] Does feeding cause HR to hang? 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? * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Lucy Chaplin Trumbull elsietee AT foothill DOT net Repotted english person in the Sierra foothills, CA * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
