Normal Horse Vital Signs

The Horse Sept. 9, 2011

 Mucous membranes -  Moist, healthy pink color

 

 Capillary refill time - Two seconds or less  (it takes time for the gums to return to pink

 after  being pressed with a finger)

 

 Gut sounds -  Gurgling, gaslike growls, “tinkling” sounds (fluid), and occasionally “roars

 

 

Common Vital Sign Mistakes 

 

 Not leaving the thermometer in long enough (false low temperature reading)

 

 Taking vital signs on a nervous horse (horses' pulse and respiration rates can increase dramatically if they are nervous.)

   

 Allowing the horse to sniff your hand to measure respiration rate (they will sniff far more quickly than their regular breathing rates)

 

 Double-counting heartbeats (lub-dub=one beat)

 

 Not regularly practicing on your horse to know what is normal!
