Chloride is an important electrolyte that works with sodium to maintain fluid balance and acid-base status. Normal levels are a good sign.
Low chloride in horses is commonly associated with gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhea, colic, or vomiting (reflux). Horses with colic and nasogastric reflux lose significant chloride. It can also occur with excessive sweating or kidney disease.
