Emergency!!! Can anyone help???

iluvmywarmblood · 11-13-2007, 11:32 AM

Question???
I just got back from the barn and my horse has not touched his food all morning. Why isn't he eating? He is drinking fine, but wouldn't touch his food. My friend rode him this morning, and he seems to be upset!! Pulling his head up trying to buck and rear,(hopping around) hollowing out his back, and then when she asked for backing he was dragging his left foot in the sand and arching his head around and spinning around all at the same time!! He was favoring his left front foot. Also he has a round bump in the front of his chest that appeared after she worked him a bit. What is going on with him??? Help, anyone please!!! I am really stressed out!!!

Not sure, my friend said he was okay???
But then again, she seem pretty inexperienced.

Definitely check vitals and call your vet and let him know what is going on.

I wouldn't trust your friend if she was riding him while he was favoring a foot and asking as if he was in pain. You should go and check him out, check his vitals, see if he is still lame then call your vet with the results, it does sound like something isn't right.

Hi guys, his vitals seem to be normal....
His pulse is 32. His resps are 12, and his temp is 37.8.
What is the next step? What do I do next?
