Hey, I noticed that my horses urine is never really clear, it is usually always an opaque yellow. She is a 3 year old mare, and she also never really urinates a lot each time she goes? Could she just not be drinking enough water? Any ideas? |

Have you read the article Prakash and what it says about your findings.

I read the article on normal urination in horses. And I believe the only thing I read about urinating not much at each time was that she might be in heat, which I don't think is the case with her because it is an ongoing thing. I know in humans that when we are dehydrated, our urine is more concentrated, and when we are well hydrated, it is more dilute. I know that you said in the article that cloudy yellow was normal, but is is normal all of the time? Or should there be some times when her urine is more clear. Are there any other articles that you recommend me reading? I hope that I didn't misread something. Thanks for any help or assistance. |

Yes, all the time is normal in some horses. As to the amount this is hard for me to judge from here. I would assume if she has always been this way this is normal, if you think this is a recent change or there is straining you might have your vet check her out.
