This is great info!

Oh no, red or orange horse urine in the snow! As I was walking around in the pasture today with the horses I came upon this pretty orange urine spot and though, hey, I bet people would like to see this. 😆 Well, I really thought, I bet there are a lot of people who may panic a little when they see red or orange colored urine in the snow from their horse, and we should post about that. 😉
The deal is, this is generally normal and generally nothing to be concerned about. You may see red, orange or even brown colored spots left behind after your horse urinates. No need to worry! Color change is a natural occurrence that happens when proteins in the urine, called pyrocatechines, mix with oxygen (oxidize) after urine is passed. This is something that happens all year long but becomes more obvious when visualized on white snow and at times can be mistaken for “bloody” urine. Normal horse urine will appear anywhere from yellow, dark yellow, colorless, to even cloudy when it is passed. If you notice your horse's urine is an abnormal color as it is being voided, having an inconsistent stream, straining to urinate, red or brown tinged urine mid-stream or even passing blood clots, please call your veterinarian for further evaluation (collect a sample if possible in the meantime also), as these symptoms may indicate a medical concern

This guy had a mild colic, but he’s doing great currently. When a horse has colic it’s hard to predict how they will progress and what treatments will be needed. I am grateful for his owner’s willingness to leave him here overnight. Trying to treat horses out in this cold is hard on everyone. He’s a happy camper here in the warm clinic 🥰

An owner noticed a painful and very swollen hind leg (from the stifle to the hoof). We could not find an injury or a localized infection. Fortunately, we have the ability to test blood for a protein that goes up with infection, and sure enough we got a very high number. The infection is most likely in his lymphatic system and should respond to basic treatments.

Sweet Itch is a form of insect-bite allergy that is making a lot of horses miserable right now. There are medications that can help, but the best thing we have seen lately are these pasture "jammies." And bonus: although they are made in Germany, they are sold right here in the Dells! Check out their link in the comments for more details.
