Low temperature

[GypsGal1718]

I just took their temperatures and George’s was 36.5 which is low. He seems fine in himself and is warm, is it anything to worry about?

Gypsie’s was also just about low at 37.4


They seem happy though!

I wouldn’t have thought so - it’s only slightly low. also unless you take it regularly you won’t know what is normal for them. Maybe take it a few days consecutively to get an average temperature.

36.4 - 36.6 has consistently been the normal temperature for one of ours and he's healthy. As above, take the temperature at the same time each day for a week, and that will give an idea of their average / normal range.

I wouldnt worry, just take the temp every day for a week or so and get an idea of whats normal for the individual horse, one of mine has a very consistent normal temp of 37.3.

What prompted you to take it? Was there something not right?

George has had a nasty cough lately, the vet is coming tomorrow. He seems fine in himself though
