Diseases of Horses
Horses can get lots of kinds of different diseases. Here are a few and how you can treat them.
| Usually a horse with Lyme disease will show an unexplained reluctance to move, as if sore all over, and/or transitory lameness that can not be ascribed to any specific cause. Lyme disease can be effectively treated with various antibiotics, however, diagnosis can be tricky. | |
| Malabsorption occurs when the horse’s digestive system cannot absorb nutrients from the digestive track. Of course these symptoms occur in other more treatable diseases, particularly parasitism and malnutrition. | |
