Firstly I'm sorry this is so long, but i am very worried
Blue is 22 years and generally healthy. A few days ago he had some diarrhoea, just moderate. I gently cleaned him up every day and applied sudocreme once a day. I phoned the vet and he mentioned the sudden change in temp and frosty grass, so i continued putting him in at night and wrapped him up warmer.
It was not amazingly better but getting there, then today i have just got home, his bum is looking much better, but his poos are so much runnier and runny poo ALL down his back legs!!! I cleaned him up again, changed his rugs (we had rain today) gave him a fuss, and left him, I didn't think there was anything else i could do for the moment. I am going to phone the vet for an appointment for Fri or Mon, but does anyone have any advice at all??
Nothing about his diet had changed at all!! Unfortunately i have not been able to keep him on the same batch of hay due to shortages, but this has been ongoing all winter it is not a recent change at all. He has happy hoof, garlic, equivite, donkey chaff, linseed and a small amount of build up cubes. ALWAYS the same amount as i always make his food. I did begin to lower the build up cubes, but this evening he was VERY tucked up so i think they need to stay the same. I have made sure he has no carrots etc etc. Apart from this awful diarrhoea, he seems happy, eyes bright, coat as normal.
I'm so so sorry for the essay I am just very worried and was wandering if anyone has any advice at all please? Thank you x
