Total protein reflects both albumin and globulin levels. It is a general marker of nutrition, hydration, and immune function.
Low total protein can indicate blood loss, gastrointestinal protein loss (parasites, colitis), liver disease (reduced production), or poor nutrition. Foals naturally have lower protein levels than adults.
Your veterinarian may recommend fecal egg count, liver function tests, and a nutritional assessment.
Equine total protein: 4.8 g/dL (Low)Total protein reflects both albumin and globulin levels. It is a general marker of nutrition, hydration, and immune function.
No action needed.
Equine total protein: 6.8 g/dLHigh total protein is most commonly due to dehydration (hemoconcentration) or chronic inflammation/infection causing increased globulin production. Monoclonal gammopathies are rare in horses.
Your veterinarian will check hydration status and run a serum protein electrophoresis if the elevation is persistent.
