"RE: foal with scours" In response to message #0      sounds like foal has worms,cannot insist it enough if havent wormed it yet do it asap, over infestation can cause ruptured intestine and you lose your little bub . hope this helps if my prediction is wrong please let me know what it was as i am always willing to learn thanks   Alert | IP Printer-friendly page | Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: foal with scours" In response to message #1      if he is getting too much grain it may be too much for his little tummy,lucerne and wheaten or just hay are fine other than that it could be worms.   Alert | IP Printer-friendly page | Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: foal with scours" In response to message #1      Your other two messages could be right and even lucerence or new spring greens can give your foal the runs. To help settle your foals stomach feed him yogurt this will help put back the good bacteria within the gut.   Alert | IP Printer-friendly page | Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
