[RC] foal diarrhea - Michael Rothwell

Any suggestions? My new foal whose is 4 weeks old now has had diarrhea
since birth He is growing and normal in every other aspect. The mare is
healthy and being fed beet pulp and grass + alflafa hay. The foal had
probios at birth and day 3 and 5. The mother was wormed with ivermectin
within 12 hours after birthing. The foal has been hauled to the vets 3
times now and taken a couple of courses of antibiotics and something else
(my mom can't remember what and the horses are with her 4 hours away from
me). She is reluctant to take the foal and 1 1/2 drive again to the vet as
it seems fruitless...........but concerned that he has not yet make a firm
stool..........
thanks,
Tara
