What is Anhidrosis
What is Anhidrosis (non-sweating) in Horses?
Anhidrosis commonly referred to as 'dry coat', 'the puffs' or 'non-sweating' disease' is the inability for the horse to sweat after exercise.
This condition usually develops in horses that are exercised and stabled in hot and humidweather.
In tropical locations 50 -60% of horses willpresent the disease. Horses that loose the ability to sweat efficiently, will puff and blow to reduce their core temperature.
This is a very serious condition and you should seek medical attention immediately.
