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.
