Fall is here 🍁
Great information to keep in mind with the leaves 🍂 starting to change colour and the leaves falling from the trees 🌳
🧡 💛

🍂⚠️ Beware of Toxic Leaves for Horses ⚠️🍂

As autumn rolls in, many horses love to roam and graze in fields filled with fallen leaves, but did you know that certain leaves can be toxic to horses? It's important to keep a close eye on your horse’s environment, especially during this season, to ensure their safety and health.

🚨 Common Toxic Leaves to Horses 🚨

Red Maple Leaves 🍁 - These leaves, whether fresh or wilted, can cause severe anemia and lead to organ failure if ingested.

Black Walnut Leaves 🌰 - Often found in pastures, these leaves can cause laminitis and severe hoof pain when ingested.

Poison Ivy, Poison Oak, and Poison Sumac 🌿 - These can cause skin irritation or more serious allergic reactions if your horse comes into contact with them.

Oak Leaves 🍂 - In large quantities, oak leaves can cause colic or kidney issues due to their high tannin content.

Yew Leaves 🌲 - Highly toxic to horses, even a small amount can cause sudden heart failure.

💡 How to Protect Your Horse:
•Remove fallen leaves in your horse's pasture or grazing area.
•Fencing off certain trees or areas where toxic leaves may be present can help limit exposure.
•Regularly check pastures for toxic plants, especially after storms or strong winds that can blow leaves and debris into grazing areas.

⚖️ Signs of Poisoning If you suspect your horse has ingested toxic leaves, look out for symptoms like:

•Lethargy or weakness
•Lack of appetite or drooling
•Abdominal pain or colic
•Rapid breathing or heart rate
•Sweating or trembling

If you notice any of these signs, contact your vet immediately for guidance and treatment.

Stay vigilant and keep your horse safe this season! 🍂🐴
