Re: [RC] heatstroke and cold water - CMNewell>If heat stroke is suspected I would sponge cold water on the head but never on the body >until a horse is sufficiently cooled out/walked down.I'd be dumping cold water over them. Maybe even an ice enema. Heat stroke is an emergency situation. If you don't get the body temperature down qucikly, you have either a dead or an extremely damaged horse on your hands. --CMNewell, DVM =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
