Horse health conditions

Jimsonweed toxicosis is a rare and potentially life-threatening condition in horses that occurs from ingestion of jimsonweed (Datura stramonium). Jimsonweed plants contain a wide array of toxins that cause abdominal pain, dilated pupils, difficulty breathing, reduced appetite, and collapse.

Joint infections are infections found in the joints of horses which cause pain, inflammation, fever, and lameness. Joint infections are always an emergency and require immediate medical assistance.
