My horse has been on box rest for two days.
He was on bute for 5 days then came off. He started to get the 'runs' about 3 days into box rest. I assumed it was the bute and reckoned that after he stopped that he would produce more solid material.
The bute stopped and his back legs were still brown. Thought it was the Horslyx I was giving him to keep his foot in the salt water, but stopped them and he still has borwn legs.
His 'waste' is still pretty solid, perhaps not as formed. He is getting is normal feed and hay.
Is it lack of mobility, stress or something else causing it.
He is stabled due to a hoof abcess.
