My 2 year old has been living out but I brought him in last night and noticed that his droppings were vey sloppy and smell really bad. This was as soon as he came in. I thought he was a bit excited and stressed at coming in for the first time in ages, so put the first yukky dung deposit down to that. He soon settled and was happy and relaxed this morning. But his bed was really horrible. After I'd mucked out and swept the bed back he deposited another pile and it was just like a cow pat in consistency, a light yellowy-brown colour and smelt terrible. *sorry

As he's been living out I was surprised his dung wasn't more greenish.

What might have caused this? He looks well, is eating well and quite happy in himself.

Should I not worry, or try some Pink Powders, or be more concerned about it?
 
He's just been out on grass up until last night. No over looking trees in his field, so no acorns thank goodness. He's not on haylage, although I gave him some hay last night but he had the runs right from the moment he came in, before he ate any. He's always been regularly wormed, and the vet took bloods and a worm count last month and confirmed he's well in those respects. I honestly cannot think what's the cause of his problem. I am thinking of getting him some Pink Powders as I've read this can be of help for this problem. I'd rather know the cause though, before treating him.

When I first got my TB five years ago his droppings were like this , very smelly & loose. I put it down to stress because of the change in enviroment. However I wormed him aswell, but think it was the fact that he had settled/ got used to new grass etc that made him firm up.
