Every horse owners favourite topic this one- poo 
Fattys droppings are always a bit like elephant poos, if they go into hard individual droppings like most horses it's usually when she isn't getting enough to eat.
Lately her droppings have been normal but there is a lot of liquid being passed through at the same time? And yesterday at one point she passed gas and also a small amount of liquid. Her back legs and tail are disgusting, even after being washed.
She seems fine in herself and temperature normal too.
She had ulcer treatment in 2016 and has been symptom free since and I'm always cautious to ensure she has plenty of forage, even as a very good doer.
I do wonder if she's struggling to get enough to eat through her muzzle in the day but her droppings are otherwise normal and enough of them and she's certainly not dropping weight.
Planning to worm count next week (although we are on top of worming, but YO is erratic in doing hers and poo picking so maybe that, although all previous counts have been no eggs seen) and will look at getting some protexin or similar but any other ideas?
