Diarrhea in Horses

Diarrhea, or excessively loose stool, is a sign that something is wrong with your horse's health. Unless the problem clears up within about a day, you should call your veterinarian. A horse can very quickly become dehydrated when it has diarrhea, and dehydration can cause colic, a potentially life-threatening abdominal condition. The underlying cause of your horse's diarrhea may be a serious health problem that can be difficult for you to identify on your own.

Why Do Horses Get Diarrhea?

Diarrhea is a symptom, not an illness in and of itself, and often indicates that something is awry with a horse’s digestive system. Usually, a horse’s manure is a pile of solidly formed, rounded "buns" or "road apples." If the horse’s digestive system is altered in some manner, resulting in abnormal motility and altered fluid absorption, its manure can range from slightly runny to very loose and watery.

In severe cases, the loose manure may exit forcibly and end up covering stall walls and anything else standing in its path. Frequently, diarrhea may last for a day or two, resolve on its own, and you may never find the reason it occurred. But in some cases, it can be extremely acute and severe or become chronic and require ongoing treatment and vigilance.

There are many reasons horses get diarrhea. While most episodes are not a huge problem, diarrhea can also be an indication of a serious, life-threatening illness. Some of the causes of diarrhea in a horse include:
