I'm posting this on behalf of a friend as we are seeking an explanation for her horses strange symptoms!
Horse is 7 yo KWPN last year he had a bad kick to his hock which resulted in him having a bone chip removed, this was a resounding success and he was brought slowly back into work.
He was progressing very nicely (he is a dressage horse hopefully) and his work pattern has been very varied with jumping, cantering, hacking a bits of schooling.
He had gone to a little competition with very promising results until about 2/3 weeks ago he has become very nappy/unwilling to work.
This horse is an inwardly stressy type and has always been reluctant to mouth the bit but recently his mouth is dry, he doesnlt seem to sweat even under hard work, he also has had/has sarcoids which has been treated with liverpool cream, in the last couple of days he seems to have developed a rash on his face and bits of hair are falling out???
He has moved yards recently from a very stressful environment with very little grazing to a private yard with ample grazing, he has had his saddle checked, back checked, lameness workup by vet, bloods taken yesterday by vet. We have been told about a condition called equine anhidrosis, where the horse overheats as it cant sweat???? anyone any ideas???
