No, unless in very small amounts. The horse should be walked to be cooled out before water is given, otherwise it could easily colic.
The type of cold medicine that a horse may receive would be totally up to the equine veterinarian that is overseeing the horse. Human grade cold medicines are not equine safe and should not be given,
No
Clean and Cold water should always be available but usually they need 5 to 10 Gallons.
DRINKING COLD WATER DOES NOT CAUSE COLIC after excersize or if a horse is very hot drinking cold water straight away causes colic! sorry aabout the caps lock
It may be best to give kittens water that is room temperature. Kittens may have trouble drinking very cold water as it would be a shock to their systems.
No. A hot puffing horse must not be given water until it has stopped blowing. Then only small amounts of "chilled" (Water with the chill taken off) at 15 minuets intervals. Answer 2: (Supervisor answer) The above answer has been found to be completely invalid with recent research. A horse will have no ill effects from being given chilled water while still hot and blowing. In fact the research shows that it is better to give the horse as much cold water as it will drink upon completing it's job. Not allowing a horse to drink it's fill while it's very hot has been proven to cause more ill effects than allowing the horse to drink in intervals.
If horses are very hot (such as after a hard training session) they should not be given food or cold water until they're cool. You may offer them a couple swallows of water, but do not let them drink unattended. It is best to cool them off first, by walking them around or hosing them down with cool water. You should not let your horse drink cold water while they are hot because it can cause your horse to colic. This can be serious and even lead to death in horses. So before you let your horse drink a lot of cold water, check his temperature. One way to roughly check a horses temperature and see how warm he is, is by putting your hand on his chest and seeing if it is hot. It should be warm, but not hot. I hope I helped in answering your question :]
Yes. This is very true. Any horse that has worked hard should not be aloud to drink unless their respiration is a normal rate and they are properly cooled off. If a horse does drink a lot of cold water, they are likely to catch a chill and get very sick. They can also get colic.
Cold water is safe for horses to drink and can help cool them down after exercise. However, it's best to offer water that is not extremely cold, as horses may be more inclined to drink water that is at a moderate temperature. Rapidly changing a horse's body temperature by offering very cold water can cause shock or discomfort.
cold water and water at night dont water when the sud is out
No, if you are having a cold or you are sick you should bee given a sick leave.
No, cold water weighs more (for a given volume) than hot water. This is why there is a thermocline in bodies of water. But when water freezes, the solid form weighs even less (for a given volume), this is why ice floats.
