I have a horse who currently has acorn poisoning. All 9 of my horses started actively searching out a d eating the oak acorns this fall, and would leave grass and hay untouched, in favor of consuming the acorns. I have read that acorns aren't consumed by horses very frequently, so I guess I'm feint a bit unlucky to have every one of my horses gobbling up the acorns. When one of my geldings started behaving sickly, I pulled all the horses from their grazing acreage and have them in drylot corrals being fed hay. I have over 200 oak trees, and in the last 10 years, this year we have far more acorns than ever before. The symptoms are easy to see: an affected horse is not quite himself. He appears very lethargic and a bit weak. He lies down and seems weak upon rising. He is uninterested in his grain, a d only picks at his grass hay and alfalfa. He has markedly increased urination and increases water consumption. His stomach muscles are tight and he acts lime he just doesn't feel well. I'm waiting it out to see if my boy pulls through okay and am hoping for the best, since there is no antidote, only supportive care. Some report diarrhea or constipation and blood in the manure or urine - my gelding hasn't Shown these symptoms so far.
