I have an 11 year old TWH geilding who is leaking urine. We have taken him to the vet and they did bloodwork which resulted in a slightly above normal BUN and CRE. The vet sent him home on banamene and uniprim. He acts like he feels good he eats,poops, and even runs around the pasture. I have noticed that since we have finished the meds he does not leak all of the time but he still does occasionally. This is my first horse so I am learning. I have also noticed that he stretches all the way out to pee. Is this normal behavior? We are supposed to take him back in 2 more weeks for a ultrasound and repeat bloodwork. Has anyone else had this kind of problem?
Could he just have a weak bladder? I mean in humans, people 'leak' all of the time when they laugh, or cough or sneeze and thats just considered a weak bladder muscle.
And some horses stretch all the way out because they don't want to get splashed. If thats normal for him, I wouldn't worry about it. Call or email the previous owner if you can to check?
I suppose this could be the case. I contacted the previous owner who had him for 2 years they said he did this when they got him and they gave him a round of pencillian but he still did it. They offered my money back but I don't want to do that because this was not a great place and they will just leave him in the pasture to die. I want to find out what is wrong and help him.
What did the vet tell you? What were the meds suppose to be treating?
