Re: [RC] A little peeing problem........ - Heidi Smith


My wife Ginger's Arab often has a strange peeing problem after a serious
ride
in that he seems to want to pee frequently but very little or nothing
happens.  He spreads 'em and drops and stands there till maybe a little
trickle
appears, then stands there some more, then moves on.  He does this several
times an
hour for about 24 hours following the strenuous work.  It has also
happened,
though only one time, with my mare, Solitaire.  We have been told they are
not
getting enough e-lytes.  We have been told they were given too much of the
e-lytes.  Has anyone else experienced this, and what was your solution?

I've seen this several times, and in my experience, it has more to do with
back discomfort than it does with having to pee.  Check bloodwork post-ride
for signs of tying up, check saddle fit, and check with a chiropractor....

Heidi
