I'm not an expert, but some obvious symptoms would be: The horse would bump into some things The eye could start to cloud over The horse starts using his/her other senses (hearing, smelling) alot more He/She touches things with his body/face before getting too close Talking to other horses more, sometimes sounding desperate So, basically anything that you would do if you you couldn't see and couldn't communicate with people.
No, horses should not eat sumac as it can be toxic to them. Sumac plants contain compounds that can be harmful to horses if ingested, leading to symptoms such as gastrointestinal upset, colic, and potentially more serious health issues. It is best to keep sumac plants away from areas where horses graze.
The rhinovirus in horses commonly causes respiratory infections such as the common cold. Symptoms can include nasal discharge, coughing, fever, and lethargy. In severe cases, it can lead to pneumonia.
Yes, horses can get pneumonia. Pneumonia in horses is usually caused by bacterial or viral infections, and symptoms include coughing, nasal discharge, and difficulty breathing. Treatment typically involves antibiotics and supportive care.
Horses may drool after eating apples because the fruit is juicy and can stimulate saliva production. Some horses also produce more saliva when they are excited or enjoying tasty treats like apples. Drooling can be a normal response and should not be a cause for concern unless it persists or is accompanied by other symptoms.
Milk fever (post-parturient hypocalcemia) is generally considered a problem in animals that produce copious amounts of milk after the birth of their yopung. It is more common to be seen in dairy cows and dairy goats. It is a very rare problem in horses. The general symptoms of hypocalcemia are, low blood calcium, muscle weakness, tremors, staggering, below normal body temerature, dilated pupils, and heart arrythmia.
Blind horses can not see, that is why they are called blind. The other senses will get better to help compensate for the blindness, the sense of smell will get better and the sense of touch will get better, as will the horses hearing.
With a hoof pick.
To keep them from getting distracted or spooked.
in fact she did even though she was blind she loved them..:):P
Don't know just cant see the question....
Horses and ponies can see blue and green colors but not the color red.
Ive personally seen blind horses do many things jumping, dressage, trail riding, etc. I would think it dangerous for both the horse and the rider but yes it is possible for you to race a blind horse.
No. Many horses and ponies, like the Shetlands, have the forelock (not "bangs") hanging onto their faces and they don't go blind at all.
* Well, not ALL horses go blind, lose their teeth, and get weakened bones. That happens to some horses, depending on their "careers". One way you can tell a horses age, is by looking at their front 12 teeth.These teeth are called incisors. As horses age, their incisors sort of cave in. Below I have added a diagram, to give you an idea: *A horse changes when it ages by: going blind, loosing their teeth, and weekining bones.
Horses have a blind spot directly in front of them so it is better to approach them slowly, from the side.
Yes. Mosquitoes carry West Nile Virus and can infect horses when bitten. Other than horses, most animals that get the virus have mild, if any, symptoms. It is a serious illness in birds, horses, and some people.
no, but they do have blind spots directly in front and behind them which means they cant see you there
