It is estimated up to 6% of all horses develop a syndrome where they start to sweat less and less, which is called "anhidrosis." Eventually, anhidrosis can lead to an almost complete absence of sweat from a horse. This is very concerning since sweating is the primary way horses cool their body temperatures. In this week's podcast, we discuss how anhidrosis may manifest in your horse. We highlight some of the signs to look for in a horse that is developing anhidrosis and what some of the dangers are if left unmanaged. Then, because these horses need to be managed to maintain their well-being, we also give some tips on how to alleviate their discomfort. We also discuss some of the available research on horses that suffer from anhidrosis, while also briefly giving nutritional tips on how to help these horses maintain optimal health. Finally, if you suspect your horse may be suffering from anhidrosis, it is critical you speak to your veterinarian, as only they can diagnose your horse.
