The easiest way to monitor a horses CRT is my lifting their upper lip, followed by applying pressure onto their gums with your finger, to observe how quickly the colouration goes back to normal (pink).

The normal time for the capillaries to refill in a horse is around 2 seconds.]]> 2018-10-01 15:06:39 UTC https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/yltwi9bp556c/wish/287661537 https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/yltwi9bp556c/wish/287668587 2018-10-01 15:15:50 UTC https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/yltwi9bp556c/wish/287668587 https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/yltwi9bp556c/wish/287670006 2018-10-01 15:17:16 UTC https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/yltwi9bp556c/wish/287670006 https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/yltwi9bp556c/wish/287670171 2018-10-01 15:17:28 UTC https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/yltwi9bp556c/wish/287670171 A healthy horse should produce well-formed faecal balls with noticeable forage stems but no real “chunks” of feed, a fairly uniform colour, little odour, and no mucous covering. A small amount of liquid either immediately prior or following a bowel movement might also be normal. https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/yltwi9bp556c/wish/287992501 2018-10-02 08:37:32 UTC https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/yltwi9bp556c/wish/287992501 Normal temperature: 99-101°F; 37.2-38.3°C. Take your horse’s rectal temperature using a digital thermometer that’s been dipped in a small amount of lubricant. Make sure you hold the thermometer in place or clip a string attached to the thermometer to the tail. https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/yltwi9bp556c/wish/287992650 2018-10-02 08:37:59 UTC https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/yltwi9bp556c/wish/287992650
