Infection is a serious risk for dogs with dry eye and can lead to painful, inflamed eyes. Ulcers on the cornea (surface of the eye) are also a serious risk since, without the lubricating effect of tears, the eyelid can scratch the surface of the eye just by opening and closing.
1 To check your horse's respiratory rate, stand back and watch her chest movements. 2  One in-out movement of the chest counts as one breath. 3  Count how many times this happens in one minute. 4  It's best to do this check when your horse is resting so that this will be an indication of her normal respiratory rate.. Examine your horse's coat and skin. A dull coat is a sign that the horse is either in poor condition, suffering from a lack of nutrition or not grooming herself properly. If this is the only symptom, it is likely not an emergency, but you would do well to mention it to the vet the next time you see him.
If they have colic, keep them walking until the vet comes and don't let them roll! If they roll they can get twisted gut and most likely will be put down. This is false. Horses can get sick, there are a lot of things horses can get that make them sick from colic to hoof problems to worms.Horses cant be sick, its true! Its like a one way road, the vomit can only go one way! Horses can't be sick because there is a one way valve in their stomach which shuts when food is being digested, that's why when horses eat something poisonous it can be â¦ fatal as they cant sick it up!!   Horses can get very sick and ill in many different ways like us humans.
