Answer #1

Sounds like her teeth need to be floated. Whatever it is the Vet needs to see this horse. Everything is indicating Vet visit. You could lose your horse. Needing her teeth floated will cause all the systems you are talking about because she is not digesting her food correctly.

Vet quick!

Answer #2

Yes…call the vet, and eliminate the possibility that there is something physical going on with her…Anytime an animal’s behavior changes drastically, a vet would be my first call.

Answer #5

Horses really feel it when they lose a baby. You might have to get the vet in to see if she is having anxiety.
