Remember that encysted small strongyles won’t
show up in a fecal float. Diarrhea is one ofthe many symptoms a horse can
have. Maybe a Safeguard or Panacur purge (double does
for 5 days) would be in order here? I purge my horses once a year now. The only
problem is that I now have to feed less and ride more or they get on the chubby
side. http://www.getrotationright.com/thiefofhearts.asp

My new 7 year old mare has always had sort of loose manure piles and
I've been trying to figure out why and firm her up... I feed grass hay
and LMF Super Supplement G (1 lb a day as instructed) and Grand Hoof. She
has a clean water source and grazes on pasture for turnout. She's
not been in any stressfull conditioning yet, just
lightly ridden once or twice a week. I've done fecal floats on her (I
test my horses rather than worm them) and they were negative twice (spring and
fall). However, just to be sure, I went ahead and wormed her with Zimectrin Plus because of the loose stool two months
ago and no change.
