I live in Florida and my gelding gets diarrhea. here i is usually sand in his intestines. 1 cup metamucil and 1 cup oil added to his feed 2 time a day until resolved. Usually a week.
Good luck.
Thank you everyone for your time and advice here. I greatly appreciate it.
I'm crossing my fingers because when I checked today, she has gone without a spell for at least the last 24-48 hours. And I didn't hear any rumbling in her belly either!
I…
Hi, Jennifer:
Do you pick up the manure in her field? If not, I really would suspect parasite infestation first and foremost. If that's the case you will need the help of your veterinarian to de-worm her properly without subjecting her to an overdo…
Thank you so much for all the great advice and ideas.
I should also mention that she is in a small 2 acre field that isn't changed or harboring anything abnormal. Its more like a really large turn out.
Also--sometimes her diarrhea is projectile an…
Hi, Jennifer:
This can be a difficult issue to resolve. I have a mare who has this problem from time to time, but now I usually can sort out what cauasd it (BTW, I've known geldings to have the problem too). When I first got this mare she had this…
Hello Jennifer
Often times a horse who exhibits periodic diarrhia is suffering from ulcers. A horse can ulcer in a very short time under stress...feeding, environmental, training changes. Try ranitidine first. This is the active ingredient in Zantac…
Hi Jen, Why dont you try getting her off the green grass for a couple of days, and just feeding her chaff and bran during that time. Looks like the grass is pretty lush. Cheers Geoffrey
for people to ask questions and answer other peoples questions. Also to add advice and tips on anything horses!
Thanks so much Jennifer! I've tried giving her the FastTrack probiotics as well, but that hasn't helped either. In my research, I read of horses who've had diarrhea for years! ugh! I would never let it go that long--how awful!
Your mare is so pretty... she matches your coffee cup. I am so proud of you for taking a sample to the vet..... I was thinking a tumor or a blockage that was causing the poop to be runny. I only have ever seen diarrhia when Oliver, my colt was a wee…
HI there,
Wondering if anyone has suggestions for me--and my mare who has got to just be miserable. :(
So Chancy is 11 year old QH and is always in fabulous health. The only time she's had bowel issues is when she's fed too hot or when introducing…
Yes I have heard of it, and yes one year I tried it. I only used it on their legs, just in case it could irritate their eyes or they would ingest it if on their bodies. I know they itch their legs too but I did want to try it to see if I could see a…
I have heard of WD 40 being used for many different things but NEVER on horses for flies. Aside from the chemicals alone I can't imagine how something as a lubricant could be used to keep flies away. One person I know uses a home mixture of tea tree…
This photo is soooooo cute!!!!
