In addition 10 or 12 others that were in the same pasture were sick to varying degrees. Symptoms were bloating, colic, the ones that didn't die had diarrea, one got really dehydrated. All had normal temps. The most adversly affected were young mares pregnant with their first foal, including the two that died. Necropsy showed no worms or sand in intestines. Four different vets said it had to be something toxic to affect that many horses. Blood samples showed nothing and samples of their feed have been sent off, but most poisons affect the nervous system and the only thing I saw was yawning (can't remember what that's called). Has anyone else ever heard of anything close to this? I have looked extensively on the internet, but can't find anything with the same symptoms. One more thing, we have had dought conditions for several months. If you have any ideas, please answer so I can do some more research. Thanks for any help!
