Archie has a fever. I noticed yesterday that one of the boys seemed to be having the runs, at least in relative terms. Since they share a yard, I couldn't say which, they both seemed to be acting normal. But last night Archie didn't eat his hay or drink any water. This morning he took treats and grain but still no hay. Gary called the vet today.

Carrot noodle soup might have possibilities, especially if the horse were badly in need of hydration and refusing food. I dunno. :)
More news in an hour or so, I'm just getting ready to go out and check on Archie now.

When a horse doesn't want to eat, you always worry right away. Typically they would nibble for about 20 hours a day just to maintain their weight. (!!)
But he's back to eating and pooping normally, so that's a great relief.

Our big puppy (100 lbs), Max, once had HGE - hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. Basically he was bleeding from both ends. It was one of the most horrific things I've ever seen from a pet, and I won't get into the details here, but suffice it to say it was scary. When he recovered and started pooping normally I don't think we would have minded even if it had been in the house. Moor Maxie was so confused by it all, too - he's normally so even-headed that seeing him distressed was odd at best.
Love to you and yours,
