Dr. Carey Williams, Rutgers University and Dr. Amy Burk, University of Maryland, share the current knowledge, or lack thereof, of a tricky disorder cropping up with more frequency - fecal water syndrome.  Changes in weather, stress or forage types may all contribute to this unique disorder and the solution may be as hard to pin down as the cause.  If you are plagued with fecal water syndrome, you aren't alone!

I have an older retired broodmare that suddenly exhibited this syndrome in January when she and her pasture mates were switched to a round bale. She was the only one of three senior mares that had a problem with it. We treated pretty successfully (in consultation with our vet) with a combination of probiotics, psyllium and beet pulp.
