My gelding was recently on a 14 dose of metronidazole for fecal water syndrome and now he won’t finish his meals. Can antibiotics cause ulcers?
It definitely gave him loose manure but haven’t been able to find anything about the ulcer question. He’s an easy keeper so I’d rather not have to keep upping the amounts fed to try to get him to eat.
He gets 1/2 cup soaked beet pulp and half pound of alfalfa pellets twice a day with minerals added.
Muzzled on pasture, 10 lbs of hay at night in paddock in small hole hay bags.
