Rescued Shetland Molly is a bit loose still after 13 days here. Not dramatic projectile squits, just a bit loose and wet. Could be just a stress thing following 3 hrs travelling and complete change of lifestyle. But vet was out couple of days ago to give flu/tet and B12 jab and she said need to get on top of it if it doesn't clear up. I'm reluctant to give something that will "dry her up" in case it masks something I should know about. I've been recommended Global Herbs Diarreze (sp) by a very knowledgeable Forum member. Anyone have good/bad stories about it? Has it worked?
 
sorry, i haven't had any experience with the suppliment you mentioned but had experience with 'loose' horses. the traveling can quiet often upset the gut balance of bacteria. A suppliment such as 'yeast sac' can help to replace the good bacteria and get things back on track.
If you don't get anywhere, blood tests would be the next option. Through blood tests we found out one of our youngsters had fluke worm. We don't keep and cattle or other animals on our land so never crossed our minds until we remember he was fostered as a foal and the lovely people that took care of him kept cows. It has taken a while but with the correct wormers and help from yeast sac, he is 100%.

Also you could ring one of the feed companies and ask their advice. Good luck
