Make sure to keep twine and netting cleaned up! 👀

Mizzou Vet Fact - Fecalith
Horses can develop f***liths. The word literally means "f***l rocks". Fecaliths are hard irregular concretions that form in the large colon and can move into the small colon causing where they cause an obstruction resulting in colic. Fecaliths typically require colic surgery to remove. An incision or enterotomy must be performed in the small colon in order for the f***lith to be removed. If not removed at surgery, they can cause compromise to the small colon at the location they are stuck which can lead to catastrophic rupture and leaking of the small colon. In Missouri, most f***liths that we remove have formed around the plastic netting that covers round bales. This is a picture of a the round bale plastic netting that was at the center of a f***lith removed at the MU Equine Hospital. It is therefore recommended to remove this plastic netting before feeding round bales to horses.

🌦️ Seasonal changes around the barn can bring a few health risks to keep on your radar.

As winter shifts to spring, wildlife activity often increases around barns and feed rooms. Opossums are the primary host of the parasite associated with Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM).

Horses may be exposed if feed, hay, or water becomes contaminated.

Early signs can be subtle. Watch for:
• Changes in coordination or stumbling
• Attitude or behavior changes
• Muscle loss or uneven muscling
• Difficulty swallowing or airway changes

Because EPM can resemble other neurologic conditions, contact your veterinarian if something doesn’t seem right.

Digestive support isn’t one-size-fits-all. 💙🐴

Different parts of the digestive system have different needs.

Some supplements are formulated to help maintain normal stomach pH during periods of stress. Others focus on supporting forage digestion and maintaining a healthy balance of microbes in the hindgut.

Understanding that difference can make it easier to choose nutritional support that truly fits your horse.

🤔 Not sure where to begin?

The Bluebonnet Digestive Support Quiz takes about three minutes and provides personalized supplement recommendations based on your horse’s situation.
