Weeing alot.....

[mistymoo]

I noticed yesterday that in about 3 hours Kristal has 5 wees, now she always has a wee when she comes in her stable, i put this down to just liking to do so. Anyway yesterday she was having a wee when i went down the field to get her then had 2 in her stable, 1 out hacking and 1 more in stable when we got back! She has a habit of having a drink as we walk up the field when i get her in and i thought this is because she is just to lazy to walk up any other time.

She doesn't seem to be in any pain, her wee is totally normal and smells normal, she's acting her normal self and has a bright and shiney coat.

Does anyone have any ideas????

Could she be in season?

How old is she?

might be the autumn flush of grass ... my lad wees a lot during the spring and autumn flushes...i think the grass is full of water. I'm taking out twice as much 'wet' at the moment .

She sounds in season not weeing to me to be honest.
We have a gelding who wees when stressed, but in your mare's case it could be an infection, so keep an eye on her temperature and the colour of the wee.

have you had mars before -- they come into season in the spring and now this time of year-- 10 days in 10 out 10 in 10 out

they do it twice from march -- till may then sept -- oct

man made foals are normally later in year
natural born ones spring in spring

how to tell -- look see if shes winking-- then its not pee

I think you'll find that HH has had several mares - oh and my mares come into season until December - ALL of them

My mare wees a lot at this time of year, I think it is due to the grass being so moist etc. (although Han is also in foal too which can't be helping)
Since they moved on the new field I have noticed her bed is a lot wetter than usual.

Thanks everyone, I do now believe it could be her season, just surprized me as she has never been this bad before, although maybe i just didn't notice!! She has quite a few again today and yes winks after, she just seems to be weeing alot rather than the usual thick stuff i always associated with being in season. Anyway she seems very well and full of herself which i'm sure is not the sign of an ill horse! Keeping my eye on her... just in case!
