My horse has the squits :(

[Alter ego]

My horse has the squits (Very runny/wet poo)

Sadly it started when I gave her some Healthy Tummy , and has not stopped since.

This was also about the time I brought her in overnight, so her haylage consumption has increased.

any suggestions?

If its being going on longer than 10 hours i would be getting the vet without delay.

Squits in horses can be very serious, they dehydrate quickly.

Increasing Haylage could also be the cause. It gives my youngster very wet droppings so YO now mixes his Haylage with soaked hay and that worked. Could buy pink powder or Haylage balancer but would try mixing it first.

Mine used to get it off haylage, if it was too wet or rich it went through him like a wire brush. Mixing with hay helped.
If it was my horse, I would stop with the HT and introduce hay, at least until it has sorted itself out.
Keep a close eye on her.

I stopped thee Healthy Tummy straight away.

and she went back to normal, then tried again a few days later and squits returned and have not gone

My horse also got this when I tried him on healthy tummy, his skin on his back also went scabby and came up all swollen, vet said it changed the acidity in his gut too much so not giving it him now and he is back to normal
