Had him in tonight for some groundwork and a good groom and his dinner. I think he looks a bit tucked up tonight? What does everyone else think? His poo was very soft and green from the new grass, and he wasn't dehydrated as I offered him water + he was at the drinker when I brought him in. He's lost a quite a bit of condition lately so maybe it's just that mixed with the new grass? or is he wormy? He's not due another wormer for another month, but should I give it early?

Looks OK to me, especially given the weather over the last few days. Have you thought of having a faecal wom egg count done rather than just routinely worming?
 
Ah thank you. Was just worrying as he just looked a wee bit different today, but still chirpy. I'm on a yard with turnout with quite a few other geldings, so it's routine worming as designated by yard owner :(

He looks fine to me but you know what he normally looks like.
There's nothing to stop you doing a worm count though.
 
Mmm not really tense or tight, stomach was a little bit 'hard' but just thought it was him having a bit of a grass belly? He ate his feed fine/haynet, so probably just worrying over nothing! Always paranoid with him now after him having a bout a colic a couple months ago!
