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!
