My horse can't stand up but is still eating. What should I do?

Question

I have a 2 year old female horse who was wormed last week and started gaining her weight back, but today can't stand up. Looks like she doesn't have the strength. She is still eating hay and drinking. what is the best course to take? Pet's info: Farm Animal | Horse | Female | unspayed | 11 months and 3 days old | 600 lbs

She needs to be examined by a vet if she doesn't have enough strength to stand. That is very concerning so please call your vet and have her seen as soon as possible. Your vet can run lab-work to help diagnose and treat her problem.
