Hey, I have a problem with my older QH, he's not been drinking enough water and has become dehydrated.He's always been in good condition. I got some elctrolights and put in his water, also I bought a small salt block to see if it gets him to drink enough water daily. I live in FL and it's been hot. Does anyone have any other suggestions to how I could get him to drink more?

I say to call the vet so the horse can get some fluids in him.

I would also call the vet. They'll probably put him on an i.v. drip so he gets the fluids he needs. Hope he's ok.
