Does anyone here know anything or had any experiance with this condition? also know as tying up or monday morning disease.......
I have a mare who has this for the last 2 weeks and bloods are coming back with NO Improvment??
She has been on box rest since, kept wrapped up and bandaged, has electrolytes and drinking water is kept at room temp, have cut out all hard feed just has some hifi to mix in her selenevite, salt and limestone flour suppliments and has been on metacam for the first 10 days but since stopped. She has shown improvement in moving around her stable were as when this first happened she could not move
so why are the bloods not improving??
anyone tried anything different or has any advice much appreciated x

My horse had this some years ago..she was 15 at the time.
I went to get her in for the night and she was stood in the middle of the field unable to move. I did not know why as I had never come across it till that time.
We called the vet after getting her back to the yard very reluctanly as we did not no not to move her and he said she had Azoturia.
She was given pain meds and box rest for a few days and she returned to normal,but we were told it could happen again as she had too much protein in her blood and we needed to reduce all hard feed and that was cutting out oats completely and apples she was in a orchard area....which the vet said may of triggered it off or lack of excersice in her case after a busy life.
She was a very active horse in the jumping scene most weekends up untill she retired and then she had this problem after finishing work....she did have it on another occation but we managed well from then with feeding correct amounts carefully. sadly she is no longer with us..and lived to 30yrs of age.

I cant help with the bloods issue with your horse as I dont know the anwser.
But hope you get your horse back to full health soon.
