Poor Willow. I have not changed her diet at all, but over the last couple of weeks, she has gone from having loose type stools to diarrhea. It's now loose enough that its sticking to her tail and the back of her legs.
She seems normal and happy within herself, even though she is a super quiet little horse as I mentioned in my recent post. Ohhh yeah, she is 8 months old now.
The only thing that has changed is that the grass is starting to green up in the field. I'm guessing it's getting quite rich and causing this.
Both her and Bailey in locked away in the yard at night, which is really like a dry lot these days and are fed hay overnight.
How should I approach this? I've never dealt with diarreah in any of my horses before so i don't know where to turn. Should I be calling the vet or trying something myself first? Keep in mind that the product brands you guys can get over there, I can't get here.
Should I remove her from the grass altogether and dry lot her with hay only?
Thanks,
Leonie
