What to do if your horse has high fever?

1. Take your horse's temperature. A horse's normal temperature is between 99.5 and 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit. A temperature of 101 degrees Fahrenheit or higher is considered a fever.

2. Call your veterinarian. A high fever can be a sign of a serious underlying medical condition, so it's important to call your veterinarian as soon as possible.

3. Monitor your horse's condition. In addition to monitoring your horse's temperature, you should also watch for other signs of illness, such as:

* Lethargy

* Loss of appetite

* Increased thirst

* Rapid breathing

* Diarrhea

* Nasal discharge

4. Provide supportive care. While you're waiting for your veterinarian to arrive, you can provide supportive care for your horse by doing the following:

* Offer your horse fresh water and hay.

* Keep your horse in a cool, draft-free environment.

* Apply cold compresses to your horse's head and neck.

* Monitor your horse's vital signs.
