Loose droppings

[PinkvSantaboots]

My last 2 rounds of hay have been really green and its upset both of mine, I had them both on quick fix and protexin but did nothing so started gut sponge 3 days ago and Louis is marginally better but Arabi is awful terrible faecal water.

Arabi got really stressed from the hunt a few weeks back which didn't help it sort of tied in with the green hay, although his got over the hunt saga now I can't seem to get his gut calm.

I've ordered a less green bale tomorrow and I can just feed a bit of the green along side with that and hope it calms down.

But has anyone got any ideas of what I can try, I have got some activated charcoal that I've used before but I don't normally have this problem fir more than a few days.

Try gut sponge from protexin really works with H
I have tried all sorts over the years
First sign is issues I get him on it it works every time .

It’s a bit pricey to try but Acid Ease works for mine in those circumstances. You could also try Aloe Vera juice to calm the gut.

They were on aloe vera anyway and I saw the acid ease but bought the gut sponge instead might see how I go tomorrow once the other hay gets here.

I’ve found Gut Sponge better if it’s just sloppy drippings. For faecal water I found Acid Ease better. Does he have terrible wind too?

Gut sponge made my boy worse. Prob as I put it in speedy mash fibre. He firmed up when I stopped the gut sponge (and stopped the mash it was in)..

EquiShure. Expensive but only thing that has worked (tried Gut Sponge, Balancer, Pink Mash, Acid Ease all for a while to test them fully).

I'm putting it in unmolassed sugar beet

I had H on it perhaps five days before he showed improvement
He has always been prone runny issues and not thriving when he arrived.
I first tried gut sponge in autumn last year
H has awful time he had to have a major dental procedure and had some weeks of a serious infection in this sinuses before they did what they did in his mouth
He has lot of medication not registered for he always delicate digestive system was really suffering
The gut sponge helped I withdrew it after a month and sharp put him back on it and settled again
It’s clear he has a bowel issue that he will have to live with and I keep the gut sponge to hand and start it at the first sign of trouble .

AcidEase has worked brilliantly for Mim. Highly recommend.

Ok thank you it's only been a few days and I'm hoping the hay I get tomorrow will help as it all started when this real green stuff arrived, so I will continue with it anyway and hopefully it will improve.

Thank you if this doesn't work I will give it a go.

Bit of an update I started feeding the new hay yesterday morning and both have really improved on the loose droppings front, so I'm happy that it was mainly all down to the green hay, so I will continue with gut sponge and new hay then next week just gradually add small amounts of the green stuff.

Luckily his got a good stock of this hay so I will order that for the foreseeable.

Thanks for you help
