Is coffee colored urine ALWAYS a sign of tying up? I have seen such
urine with no other obvious symptoms other than poor recoveries. A
blood test several days later indicated complete metabolic mayhem,
but my vet indicated that it was not a classic "tie up" . This was
after 50 miles of a race. If muscles cramp or lock up, will that
always result in dark urine even if the horse recovers on his own?
The big question here is should a rider continue with a horse that
has shown some of these symptoms even if he seems to have "bounced
back" or will damage be done?
