Let’s talk F***L WATER SYNDROME 💩

F***l water syndrome (FWS) is a collective term for when water presents before or after immediate defecation in horses. There are many potential causes and as a result, many treatment plans.

1.) What is the QUALITY of the forage we are feeding?
+ Is it stemmy (full of non-digestible fiber)?
+ Is it too rich? (I,e; pure alfalfa for a horse in maintenance level work?)
+ Have there been any recent dietary changes?
+ How is the horses’ dentition?
+ Is this equine on a regular deworming schedule?

• Going forward in treatment we recommend a strong fiber (psyllium husk, I,e; Sand Clear) treatment for 7 days, then the first 4-5 days of each month. This slows down the GI tract.

• Additionally, a good probiotic with diverse families and a large count of CFUs. - This replenishes the good GI flora lost to diarrhea.

• In addition, a strong electrolyte to replenish the hydration that was lost to the diarrhea
