rapid weight loss in horses
Horse gotton suddenly thin?

I came home today and I took the carpet from my horse and realized he had lost much weight. The last time which took the mat he was on Thursday, due to snow and frost, etc. He is eating all the food, leave some hay, but they are all the horses and all are good, but he is dehydrated despite drinking a bucket of water. He has no dirt that comes out of his nose, his coat looks healthy, like a bit boring at the barn, but when I pulled into the arena was illuminated. I rested a bit and see if their breathing was normal and I could not hear anything rough noises.Basically Mom thinks it's red worms and she is going to get some treatment tomorrow, but that have caused such a rapid loss of weight and where you would have collected? Sorry for the long question, I hate it when one of my animals is wrong.

it is likely that your horse is suffering from an infestation of internal parasites. Parasites and poor dental health are the main reasons for weight loss thehorse, and as he also has a decreased appetite, I wish to address the problem of the parasite immediately. Horses should be wormed regularly every three months, depending on your environment and use, but has been a year or so, is well overdue. I recommend using a dewormed called Panacur PowerPac, which is actually a five-day treatment of a double dose of fenbendazole called dewormed. The double dose is sometimes necessary to kill one type of parasite called a cyathastome development phase, or encysted larvae, which resides in the small intestine. antiparasitic drugs not normally can penetrate the cyst, leaving the hatchability cyathastome at will, so to speak. The presence of these cysts can contribute to weight loss even in the horse is wormed regularly if this product is not used. PowerPac must be available at your local feed / supply store. Keep a close watch on him for treatment for any signs of colic or discomfort. Fenbendazole is a very safe dewormed, however, if the horse has an abnormally large load parasites, can sometimes cause a mild restraint, and also release a toxin such as a corpse that can cause discomfort. If any questions arise during treatment, or if the condition of his horse somehow worse, you should consult your veterinarian immediately. I hope this has helped
