Double checking re psyllium for FFW


LasellJB
 

I've read enough to realize that Rusty has some FFW that I maybe started when he started Prascend, or could also coincide with feeding out the rougher hay in the loft and/or feeding 3-4 dry lbs/day soaked TCTBC.

In any case, I'm about to order the Uckele product and want to confirm that this would be the preferred first strategy for eliminating the FFW. Or, based on Dr. Kellon's article on Uckele that highlights two Uckele products, do I need to start with both?     https://www.uckele.com/articles/help-for-free-fecal-water/

Usually we start with the psyllium husk, but some horses respond to different supplements better than others so you might work your way through a few things.  You can also get psyllium husk from places like Bulk Barn.

Starting Prascend or feeding a coarser more fibrous/straw-like hay are likely triggers for it.
