Preventive Care

Dental Care
Eating/Weight loss: Sometimes as horses age, it becomes more and more difficult to keep weight on them. Maintenance such as dental care, deworming, and increasing nutrition sources can help, but it can become overwhelmingly difficult when they stop having the appetite they used to or if they have an underlying disease that is causing weight loss. This weight loss often shows as significant muscle loss around the neck, topline, and hindquarters or ribs predominantly showing that won’t go away with extra nutrition. Another indicator is a loss of the excitement to eat in a horse that has historically had a great appetite.

Nutritional Counseling
Time of year: The last factor I weigh into my euthanasia decisions is the time of year. Especially in the state of Michigan, the winter is not an easy time for horses. Going into the fall, we like to see horses with a bit of extra nutrition to brace for the bitter cold and snow. Blanketing can help reduce weight loss, but a horse that can’t keep weight on during the summer is going to have even greater difficulty in the winter. Another hurdle they face is walking in muddy or icy conditions where they can fall and may be unable to get up. It is far more difficult to assist a horse to stand in the winter than during the summer or fall.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Wellness: Be sure to keep your senior horse on a deworming schedule that makes sense for their egg-shedding status and a regular vaccination schedule that reflects their lifestyle and risks. [...]
Pain Management
Comfort: Arthritis is a common enemy of both the aging horse and human. It can be managed with long-term pain control, joint supplementation, low-impact exercise, and other methods, but it may eventually become overwhelmingly painful. This can manifest as having significant difficulty trotting or even walking, getting stuck in places because of an inability to move a joint, or especially laying down and being unable to get back up. This is one of the most common problems I see in senior horses that lets us know it is nearing their time. For a time we can assist them to stand if they just need a bit of help or medication, but it’s important to prioritize the overall comfort of the horse and the safety of the owner when assisting their horse.
