So..the old gentleman said that the one mare had 'scours'..and he had wormed her. The vet, when testing blood, also wormed the herd. With what, I don't know. She had dried up..but the stress of an hours trailer ride, and a new home, seemed to begin it all over again.
She has loose stools, though not what I would call watery. Formed as she goes, but a puddle when it hits the grass. It looks between cow and horse manure.Her rear and tail are a disaster. Glad it's warm, because someone is getting a bath tomorrow!
I really doubt that worming again would help..or be appropriate (twice in a month already?) I can't find biosponge anywhere, and one place suggested I try a probiotic. She is not showing any signs of distress..acts completely normal. They are all eating the same (the mares' hay is different now), but the previous owner fed them all from the same round bales.
Any ideas?
Ever grateful..
