I recently became the proud Mom of a 5yr old mare. I have owned her for the last 3 months. When she arrived I was told she was about 2 weeks pregnant. She has had diarrhea since she has been with me. She has been wormed and gets treatment for sand twice per week (has been tested and has no sand or worms.)
I was told that she "always has this when she is in foal." Well, I don't agree with that statement. I discontinued all her feed and have been giving her free-choice orchard/timothy hay, salt, and free choice minerals. After two or three days all the diarrhea is gone.
Now, what do I feed her so she gets all the nutrients she needs for the baby without upsetting her system again? Anyone have any suggestions? They would be much appreciated. This little girl was miserable and I don't want that to happen again.
