THIRD TRY.... Dosing of Kaolin-Pectate
|
larkstabatha
Three's a charm... right?! Hoping for a response to my posts https://ecir.groups.io/g/main/message/254566 and https://ecir.groups.io/g/main/message/254454 going back to September 6th.
Hoping to find out if you would continue to administer the Kaoline-Pectate for a certain number of days after the manure solidifies? Or stop as soon as manure is (percent) solid fecal balls. Tabby still has partially solid manure with green, liquid gas, and I stopped dosing the Kaolin-Pectate while waiting to hear from you. . Thank you, S Sally in Big Park, Arizona/April 2013 https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/files/Sally%20with%20Tabby%20and%20Maisie

Sorry Sally, I have no idea. Did you try searching Horsekeeping messages for kaolin?

Our elderly Quarter Horse had had diarrhea for years. A year ago We called a brilliant new IM VMD vet in our area. Among other things, she took a rectal biopsy and discovered IBD.
(She also did a peritoneal tap to check for cancer). Horse was given a long course of metronidazole (for IBD). In addition he was given full tube ProbioticWise paste daily for a short time, which has been reduced to 1/4 tube daily for maintenance. We give 1 ounce high quality fish oil (from KER) AM & PM (anti- inflammatory).... His Forage is Timothy Balance Cubes, soaked very soft, and TC Safe Starch Forage. NO coarse long fiber hay. He gets Stabul 1 and 1 & 1/2 mg Pergolide (Pet Health). (For previously high ACTH.) He’s been doing great consistently. A most happy fella! We think Accurate diagnosis is the best thing. Can’t usually treat effectively without knowing exactly what you’re dealing with....:. (We assume your vet has carefully checked for parasites?) Good luck! Williams/Dubrow. ‘O8

Thanks for responding Kirsten. Did not find anything pertinent to my question on either this group or horsekeeping.

Sally, once you have firm manure for a few days, discontinue the Kaolin Pectate. Three days of good manure, stop using it. I'm not a vet, but experienced in diarrhea in horses and in foals. If your horse's diarrhea returns you need to have the vet look somewhere else for the cause.
