Hiya
My horse was spotted eating poo today!
He was fed in Dengie Hi fI, Spillers HF nuts and pink powder (ad lib hay).
A while ago he started scouring, not normal scouring but soaked back end and legs. His poos were normal, he just had squit before and after. Spoke to the Vet who put him on codiene and a Probiotic powder, told me to drop the Pink powder temporarily while he was on the probiotic and feed him a fibre beet.
I have followed this to the letter and his back end is pretty much back to normal but he has now been spotted eating his poo. Now I know this means he is lacking in something but is this a result of stopping the pink powder? Something else going on?
I am going to phone vet again on monday but just wondered if anyone else had similar experiences?
Thanks
