Sore Tummy

Poor little Max. He has a sore tummy, is making cow pat poos, and is quite sorry for himself.


I don't have too much sympathy because it is self-inflicted! Of course, I am concerned about the state of his gut because hind-gut fermenters like horses are very reliant on this working properly. But he and the other boys got out of their paddock on Saturday night and gorged themselves on long, green grass and some baleage. The next day he was not himself and wouldn't eat his feed. This is very unusual for the horse who is the equine equivalent of a Labrador retriever!

I hope that time, toxin binder and lots of hay will put him right.
