New Grazing Slighty Runny Poo

[NoviceNic]

I know that the Poo changes on new grazing. I just wondered if you think I should muzzle Captain for a week. Just to let his belly settle on the new grazing.....His poo has turned a little sloppy over the last fortnight since being on the Summer grazing at the old yard and today he is on new grazing.........:confused:

Or there is Pink Powder....Will that settle his tummy????? The grazing is very long....

We have an old mare who has runny poos and a local vet suggested adding a couple of tablespoons of plain flour to her feed. We have done that and she has no runny poos! :D

Wow never heard of that, i might try it. Do you feed a couple twice daily?

[flintybaby]

Yeah she has sugar beet as well as top spec flakes and she loves it. You cant see the flour after mixing and she has proper formed poos! :D

Merl has grass longer than that and his poo is sloppy. I wouldnt worry, he'll soon get used to the grass but if you're worried a grazing muscle can help. We have pretty rich grazing at our yard and its not suprising a couple have come down with laminitis already having only been on the grass a week :eek:.

yup, pink powder is fab stuff. you can accept that he'll get better, but make him more comfortable until then by using a digestive enhancer.
