Chronic Kidney Disease. By the time a horse develops clinical signs of chronic kidney disease, it's likely he's had the condition for years and his kidneys are pretty far gone. Signs of chronic kidney issues include weight and appetite loss, dull coat, excessive water consumption and lethargy.
Most of us know that horses can suffer from equine gastric ulcers syndrome (EGUS), a condition where horses develop ulcers in their stomachs. Horses can also develop ulcers in their large intestines. This condition is referred to as colonic ulcers or right dorsal colitis (RDC). In a recent study of 545 horses tested for RDC, 44% of nonperformance horses and 65% of performance horses had colonic ulcers. Although they are not as prevalent as gastric ulcers, colonic ulcers are still a significant problem, especially in performance horses. RDC seems to be closely associated with stress.
