Diarrhoea in Horses

Diarrhoea in horses is an interesting topic to write about. It could be a simple open and shut case which is easy to fix or it could clear itself with a simple change of diet or maybe a worming. Diarrhoea could be a symptom of something a lot more sinister, only time and working through the process or a good testing process will find the answers.

The severity and length which the symptoms being running for are key things to look at.? We will endeavour to break the stages down for you.

Stage 1 ? Changes in diet - This diarrhoea is related to a change either feed quantity or quality. This is often just a disruption to the program but with a few adjustments will be easy to fix. We do have some basic tools that are great to help at this stage which can quite often speed up the recovery process. Which will minimise the effects on your horse, this is quite important if you are away competing or getting ready for a competition.

Stage 2 ? Lingering ? This stage it is more of a problem that has been lingering around for a while that is annoying but doesn?t seem to effect condition or performance at a level we can recognise. However it can affect the ability of a horse to cope through the training process or as you lift the demands on the horse the diarrhoea will start to take its toll on condition, performance or behaviour. Most of the time the horse has had all the basic changes made in an endeavour to fix this problem (feed, worming, etc.).? At this level we need to look at the diarrhoea as a symptom not a cause. It could be an Emotional issue that is causing the problem, so once again work with some of the basic tools and start to look at issue with more of a holistic approach in mind.

Stage 3 ? Visual, effecting health - Now this is were it starts to get interesting as all of the first level stagiest have been tried we are at the stage that most people have tried not just one but a couple of different of antibiotics to no avail in fact it seems to be getting worst. The diarrhoea is now visually affecting health and condition. We now have to take care of health at all levels keeping the horse hydrated is of importance. Once again working in a holistic approach we have had some very good results at this stage.

Stage 4 ? Chronic - At this point things become chronic and if it is a young foal or an older horse you could be quite a bit of trouble. The system has really been compromised and it needs help quickly as to help with hydration and the basics of life there is not much anyone can do. No one wants there horse to end up here it is quite distressing for everyone involved.

As I have stated in the article that we need to look at diarrhoea in horses as a symptom not a cause so there are many things it could be, from our end we have found it could be any one or a combination of the following causes of diarrhoea in horses. Feed, emotional, stress related, bacterial, viral, chemical, or a genetic predisposition. All of which we can be help with using natural energy remedies along with a sound testing process to identify what is going on.
