Sodium is the primary electrolyte that regulates fluid balance. Normal levels mean your horse is well-hydrated and has normal electrolyte balance.
Low sodium in horses can indicate excessive fluid loss (diarrhea, sweating, kidney disease), over-hydration, or conditions like hypoadrenocorticism (Addison's disease, rare in horses). Horses lose significant sodium through sweat during exercise.
Ensure your horse has access to salt and fresh water. If accompanied by diarrhea or dehydration, consult your veterinarian.
