Yes, horses can die from rat poison.
Anticoagulants: Many rat poisons contain anticoagulants that prevent blood clotting. Horses are very sensitive to these compounds, and even small amounts can cause fatal internal bleeding.
Inability to Vomit: Horses cannot vomit, so they cannot expel ingested poison naturally.
Grazing Habits: Horses may accidentally ingest rat poison placed outdoors while grazing.
Bleeding from the nose, gums, or rectum; weakness; easy bruising; pale gums; seizures; and death.
Call your veterinarian immediately. Time is critical.
Remove the horse from the area where the poison was found.
Keep the horse calm and quiet.
Do not induce vomiting. Horses cannot vomit.
Store rat poison securely where horses cannot access it.
Use traps instead of poison for safer rodent control.
Inspect pastures and fields regularly for signs of poison or rodents.
Act quickly and seek veterinary attention immediately if you suspect your horse has ingested rat poison.
