Treatment for Horses After Eating Wheat
A veterinary view from Mr. William Robertson of the Ne Veterinary Agricultural Department advises rapid hydration and a large water intake after horses eat wheat. He notes a quick purge aids passage of grain from the stomach into the intestines, with large water volumes and a purgative as needed, as outdated theories suggesting watering to “dissolve” grain are incorrect.
