This happens normally in competition horses, in practices where sometimes, we overdo it and our horse is sore.It is similar to the first day of gym for us, that just by getting out of bed the next day we already notice in the body sore.
- The thermometer is one of the pillars for our medicine cabinet, it will help to consider whether it is tiredness or being in some disease.Remember that normal temperature on the horse at rest, not after activity, it is between 37 to 38 degrees Celsius .It is taken in the anus of the horse.I always recommend putting a small rope on the end that is outside with a clasp to be able to turn it on the horse's tail and avoid 2 things: having to stay all the time having the thermometer behind it and prevent it from going inside, we will always have control of where the thermometer is.
- The anti-inflammatory are very useful but ideally to always consult with the veterinarian, to follow what he normally gives to our equine, but we leave a small list that they can validate with them: powder like Danilon (that we can mix it with water and give it in the mouth with a syringe), Finadyine that is relaxing muscle and useful for stronger pain, rosemary oil to massage areas of pain or muscle tension, Arnica that is homeopathic but very helpful in cases that we know you have received a stroke and Rhus Tox for muscle contractures.
The wounds can be differentiated into slight (such as scrapes or a simple cut), moderate (such as a deeper cut, burns or scratches of greater surface) and serious, where the life of our animal is at risk.
In the case of the mild ones, we can surely mate alone with a Good disinfection and proper healing.Moderate we can have close the first disinfections but ideally call the veterinarian to evaluate it and, in serious, call a professional as soon as possible: every second counts.
Anyway, for disinfection of wounds we must always have in the kit:
- Oxygenated water or Chlorexidine (for disinfection)
- Betadine or Iodine povidone (after hydrogen peroxide since is antiseptic)
- Sponges, gauze and cotton (not sterile for cleaning and then sterile for bandages)
- Rolls of adhesive tape 5 cm
- Sharp scissors ( if they are for better gauze)
- Long sterile bandages
Also very useful cold packs both for wounds with blows and for blows themselves same.We can bandage it with ice, in cases that we can like on the legs, and leave it for about 20 minutes, no more, because then it burns and we will cause a dermatitis.
Like healing we will leave a list, but or always consult with the veterinarian:
- Aloe Vera (as a natural veterinarian I always recommend it as the best healing)
- Furacin, it comes in pasta or chiffons dipped in it, it is yellow and very useful for large burns.
- Blastoestimulin
- Cicatral, is for small wounds
- Calendula cream
Colicos in horses are one of the main emergencies.It is the main cause of death in these animals and both veterinarians and owners know that it is an emergency of first degree or immediate attention.
There are many treatments, although we will not name any, since it depends exclusively on each veterinarian.We can do right now is to keep calm and give walks to try to release gases .However veterinary assistance in this case will be essential ible.
