DIGITAL PULSES (HELP!!)

[EquestrianFairy]

IF..

Not lame
No Heat
temp is spot on
breathing is spot on
feet are spot on
BUT pulses are pounding @ 50 beats per min.

What would you suggest?

Is the horse lame?
Are you sure there's no heat?
If the horse is even remotely lame, I would be treating for laminitis even if I thought there was only a 0.0000001% chance of it being that - better to be safe than sorry til you've got the vet out.

Sorry didn't read your post properly.

Do you mean DP

.... must go and have a look at your previous posts, as I am sure I have seen you on the Laminitis ones

 

[EquestrianFairy]

Sorry, have corrected it to say DP now.

yes, im a paranoid Lammi freak im afraid!
Its because theres something not right about her- i cant put my finger on it but i KNOW theres something, just something im missing.

EF, my mare has lami at the moment! You are NOT a freak. Treat for lami NOW. Get the vet as an emergency. Don't debate it with yourself. If it's something else, great, but if it's lami you'll be pleased you treated so early.

Agree with Carrie1983. In the meantime if you can, try hosing feet with cold water.

Vets prognosis is LGL.. least it shows im not a complete baffoon and there was something wrong! Thankfully caught early... phew!

 

[hellybelly6]

Whats LGL?

 

[EquestrianFairy]

Low Grade Laminitis :-(

 

[hellybelly6]

Thanks, I didnt know that. x

Well done on spotting it, so many cases of LGL go unnoticed because the owners just don't see the 'not quite right' thing with their horse.
