🩺 Rescued horse Odin being examined by our equine vet - Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre
Channel: Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre
Date: 16/11/2021

Complete check-up for Odin, the skeletal horse we rescued last Friday, by our equine vet Dorothea. She reckoned that he's got a heart murmur and his heart rate is too elevated. He clearly could have Cushing and he's got neurological problems, the reason why he can't walk properly. It could be something to do with his neck as palpation shows there is something wrong with it. He could have received a blow or he may suffer from arthritis in the neck, we don't really know at the moment.
He's also anaemic and his feet need urgent care too.

We are waiting for the result of his blood test to get more information.

Dorothea couldn't age him with precision because his teeth are horrendous but he's probably in his very late twenties.

The main priority now is to slowly make him gain weight to improve his general condition. Dorothea injected him with a vitamin cocktail to give him a little bit of a boost. 

He's not giving up and he wants to live, so we will do everything we can to help this gentle old boy and hopefully offer him some good years with us.
