I have three mini mares that all have diarrhea, one has had it for about two weeks, I treated her with trisulpha and kaopetic and she seemed to get better but then it came back, next another mare came down this past week hers is terrible just runs everywhere, and now another, they are the only ones so far out of 16. I don't know what to do, nothing seems to be working, I will call the vet tomorrow, they all drink and eat ok, I did notice yesterday one of the mares laying down, I gave her banamine and kao and pencillin, but today it is worse, they are all three pregnant,and close to foaling could this just be them getting ready to foal? all help would be appreciated.
Thanks Joy Guin

Hello Nancy,
Pregnancy is not a cause of diarrhea and there are many causes of diarrhea some are infectious. For a listing of common causes of diarrhea and their diagnosis and treatment see the article, » Equine Diseases » Colic and GI Diseases » Diarrhea in Horses » Diarrhea an Overview.
