In this episode, Dr. Nicole Rambo and equine specialists Heather and Sarah discuss a concern regarding equine liver health. They explore a case involving a nine-year-old racehorse with elevated liver enzymes and whether a diet change is necessary. The discussion covers potential causes of liver issues in horses, including viruses, parasites, unknown origins, and dietary impacts. They emphasize the importance of appropriate training and diet, debunk common misconceptions about diet causing liver enzyme elevations, and suggest practical approaches for managing horses showing signs of liver stress. The podcast aims to inform horse owners and trainers about managing and preventing liver health issues in horses, with a focus on racehorses.
