Vet has pinpointed that horse is gassing on the grass. We have had a Rossdales visit where it was a combination of impaction, gas and inflamation. He is prone to being constipated anyway.
But since being home a few weeks it keeps happening. (Just gas). He is now only going out twice a day for an hour each and only having reduced amounts of soaked hay. He is the most relunctant farter.
He is on vets probiotic to help the stomach enzymes build up but even after an hour he is bloated.
Activated charcoal has been suggested but I am told that stops them farting so I don't want that. Vet wants to continue with probiotic and twice daily grass visits.
Maybe just feeling sorry for myself on constant colic watch. And exhausted.
This is his first spring at this yard so hoping it will settle.
Anyone had similar?
