How do i treat a horse with a bowel disease?
Everything that I have read says there isnt a really good out come for this disease.
Tammy, are you asking about equine inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or bowel diseases, in general?
If you are asking about IBD, from the basic stuff I know about IBD in domestic animals, IBD, as we know it in humans, is also seen in dogs and cats. A similar disease process, equine granulomatous enteritis, occurs in horses.
The animals are treated very much the same way as people with IBD are treated; similar, traditional drug protocols are used, and usually, a high protein, high fiber diet is recommended.
But, of course, I'm not a vet (no kidding!), so I hope that you have also consulted a large animal vet who is particularly knowledgable about GI disease.
Good luck!
Hope
