7 Assessment Is it safe to approach the horse? If so: Catch and calm the horse If possible, take the horse to a safe place such as a stall or paddock Get some help
8 Basic Exam Take the time to gather information to relay to your veterinarian such as: Temperature Heart rate Respiratory rate Gut sounds Mucous membrane colour Capillary refill time Attitude and appetite
9 Rectal Temperature Normal temperature for a horse is 37.0 to 38.5 o C or 99.0 to o F

11 Respiratory Rate Normal Respiratory rate is 12 to 24 breaths per minute
12 Capillary Refill Time & Membrane Colour

21 Wounds Wounds that need immediate veterinary attention include: Excessive bleeding Puncture wounds Deep lacerations Wounds at or near joints or tendons Foreign body penetrations Severely contaminated wounds
22 Infected synovial structures (joints, tendon sheaths, bursas) Note horses generally don t show that much lameness with skin wounds, if horse is lame it really should be seen

24
25 Foreign Body Penetrations If possible, impaled objects should be left in place. Notify your veterinarian before attempting to remove a large foreign object Removing may cause blood loss or further damage

37 Choke Coughing & Retching Extending neck Large amounts of nasal discharge containing food and saliva. DO NOT ADMINSTER ANYTHING ORALLY
38 Foaling Fortunately, foaling problems are rare but when there is a problem, it is usually serious. Ideally, the mare should be attended when she foals so problems can be identified quickly.
39 A Normal, Healthy Foal Should stand within 1 hour. Should nurse within 2 hours. Mare should pass afterbirth within 3 hours. This is know as the 1, 2, 3 of foaling.
