I posted about 7 weeks ago in vet sexton about Arlos runny poo which started around November last year.
I had the vet out and in the end decided to get him scoped for peace of mind which was done a few weeks ago. Literally nothing remarkable was found at all! We did bloods a stool sample and worm count. All came back normal, worm count slightly high so wormed with a higher dose as prescribed by vet but still no change to poo.
I feel like I have tried every supplement going, for at least a few weeks each with no change at all. He is out 24/7 on limited grass and ad-lib hay in a settled herd of 4, has also had a period turned out alone with no change.
I’ve tried no hard feed, changing hard feed, adding salt etc etc..
Some days his poos are almost normal, others they are nearly all like cow pats and I can’t find a reason or pattern to it at all, it’s completely random.
He looks the picture of health, is a pleasure on the ground, a pleasure to ride and all round seems a happy bunny, no stressiness or any sort of vices! Vet very happy with him and thinks he’s the picture of health.
Do I just accept that maybe this is just ‘him’?
It’s just frustrating all the other horses are on the same routine and fine. Some times we get a few good days I think we’ve cracked it then they go back to a bit sloppy again.
Any miraculous ideas??
