IT is very common for foals to experience diarrhoea at some stage within the first two months of life.

Diarrhoea is most dangerous for a foal aged between one and three days old. It is usually caused by septicaemia or bacteria (E.coli, Salmonella, Clostridia). Foals that suffer with diarrhoea at such an early stage of their life require a lot of care and treatment.
