You can get your hay tested by Dodson & Horrell, ring them & ask for a kit. There seems to have been alot of liver problems this year related to hay. You can feed a mycotoxin binder which sort of mops up the mycotoxins.

Really great thank you. I am going to kick my self if it is the hay it has cost me a fortune in vets bills. What is this binder stuff then?
