ANHIDROSIS !!!
photo credit.Erica Larson.
This is a condition in horses that prevents them from sweating after exposure to exercise or high temperature.This condition is very fatal especially in working horses,where the sweat-cooling-evaporation process is absent.The horse cannot regulate the body temperature when exerted or in hot environment.These horses are referred to as non sweaters and are handled with care.The non sweaters are identified and isolated,they should be kept in well ventilated stables that are fitted with fans to ensure cool air is circulated.The non sweaters are not used for strenuous exercises and walked out in cool evenings and not on hot environment.
Signs of anhidrosis are 1)dry flaky skin.2)loss of hair. 3)poor appetite 4)fatigue.5) low consumption of water 6) absence of sweat even after exercise.
Treatment is only management/ supportive care. Stable horse in cool environment,fix fans in barns to cool the horses down.
