Have you heard of Fecal Water Syndrome (FWS)? Also called Free Fecal Liquid or Water.

It’s not fun.

Horses with FWS have normal fecal balls, and then this weird extra water.

So that water splashes everywhere, including the poor horse’s legs and tail.

Simple cause and solution on today’s Horse Mysteries Solved podcast.

Here’s to clean butts.

Ever wonder why your horse might be suffering from unexplained watery discharge despite having normal feces? Horse Mystery Solved with Dr. Renee Tucker offers an eye-opening exploration into the little-known culprit behind fecal water syndrome in horses: microplastics. These pesky particles, found in horse feed and supplements, cling to the large intestine and wreak havoc on water absorption. Join us as we uncover why traditional remedies like antibiotics often fall short and introduce an innovative approach—TBT (Tucker BioKinetic Technique) energy work—that promises a path to natural healing.

In this enlightening episode, Dr. Tucker shares how microplastics’ electromagnetic affinity for the large intestine leads to this frustrating condition, causing discomfort and skin irritation in horses. The discussion underscores the resilience and healing capacity of the equine intestine through gradual elimination of these microplastics. Whether you’re a seasoned horse owner or new to equine care, take heart in knowing that even small steps can lead to significant improvements in your horse’s health. Engage with us to share your experiences and questions as we journey towards solutions for healthier, happier horses.

Hi there. Welcome, friends. Dr. Renee Tucker here. Here with another episode of Horse mystery Solved. And today, I would like to talk about fecal water syndrome. This is also known as free fecal liquid or free fecal water. So we know it here mostly in the US as water drum. Now, this is totally different from chronic diarrhea. So if you’re looking for to chronic diarrhea, that’s not this podcast. Chronic diarrhea can be caused from many, many different primary problems. But fecal water syndrome just has one cause. We’re going to talk about that today. We’re going to talk about what is it and what’s causing it and how do we fix it. If you don’t know me, hi, I’m Dr. Renee Tucker, equine holistic veterinarian for over 30 years. Here’s the answers, because I like to solve horse mysteries. Here we go. Okay, so what is fecal water syndrome? This is a really weird thing, guys. It’s horses. They have normal formed feces, nice, beautiful green smelling lovely feces. And also this strange extra water. The water can come before the poop or during the poop or after the poop. But it’s just because it’s watery quite watery, then it’s everywhere.

Renee (01:33)
It’s on the horse’s poor butt, on the tail, just everywhere that they happen to have the free water at. So you can imagine the barn in the stall, and it’s quite miserable, mostly for the people who are trying to keep their horse from getting skin, skulls, and this type of thing. Many horses with fecal water syndrome, at least initially, don’t show any other signs of discomfort. It’s just this random water. Now, some horses also may have this skin irritation, like I mentioned, and they can lose weight and have poor condition. Sometimes they act a little discomfort, like maybe intestinal light colicky once in a while, but that’s not that common. Okay, so you have this bizarre, this is really bizarre, fecal, just normal poop with extra water. It can be just a little bit of dribbling, or it can be a wave of water just comes out, and it’s just, it’s miserable. Now, what is causing that? I just want to let you know right up front. Oh, wait, I should tell you something. Sorry. So people try to help with this in many ways. People use antibiotics and supplements and bag feeds and all all trial and error things.

Renee (03:02)
And of course, it’s always good to try stuff, see if it helps. Well, sometimes anything works. It’s crazy. Some people report results with many, many different things, and then those many things sometimes stop working after a while. So that is indeed a mystery. So let me tell you what’s really going on. So it’s really caused by microplastics. I don’t know if you’ve heard, it’s been in some of the news. I don’t know where. But anyways, we have microplastics in our food. Isn’t that just lovely? Yes, it’s in some of our food, and therefore I’m positive it is in some of the horse’s food. And Of course, I’m talking bag feeds and supplements. I don’t know which ones. That’s not what this is about because you can’t avoid these things. Like microplastics, they sound like small little bits of plastic, which they are. But they’re so small that if you had a single layer of plastics right along the palm of your hand, you couldn’t see them. You could only see microplastics with a microscope. They’re so tiny. And here’s the key. These microplastics in our horses with fecal water syndrome have an affinity for the large intestine.

Renee (04:25)
So they don’t just flush right on out. They instead stick to the large intestine, particularly the bottom or ventral parts of the large intestine, and generally the last 10 to 20 % of the large intestine. I think because that’s when the large intestine slows down to form the fecal balls, that those microplastics can really stick in there. And to my knowledge, there’s no particular antidote, per se, no particular thing that can fix it other than, yes, TBT, because they have this affinity that they have. It’s like an electromagnetic affinity for these large intestines. So when there’s enough microplastics, stuck in the large intestine, right where the fecal balls are being formed. And as the horses form the final fecal balls, they absorb all the rest of the water. So these microplastics are in the way, and the horse just can’t do it. So that generally is not uncomfortable for the horse, but after a while with enough of these microplastics, yeah, stuff starts feeling uncomfortable. Okay, So what we need to do then is disrupt this electromagnetic affinity that the microplastics have for the large intestines. Easy, right? Of course. So you would do TBT, that’s Tucker Biokinetic Technique Energy Work.

Renee (06:00)
If you don’t have a practitioner near you, then I do have a product, yes, a TBT revival product. I’ll link the shop below. And what that does is it gives the energy that’s going to disrupt this affinity for the microplastics. That’s all it’s doing. It’s suddenly causing these electromagnetic to stop. So it releases the microplastics, and the horse can then actually poop those out as well. Now, there’s a little bit more than just microplastics. There’s microplastics. Now, that’s irritating to the gut wall. So You’re going to have some scar tissue, you’re going to have some scar tissue. You’re going to have some adhesions. There’s other processes that will be going on. All of that is included in the TBT revival product. But I put on my website, this is generally going to three to four months on average of treating because we can’t do this all at once. By the time the horse is loaded with all these microplastics such that now you’re showing the signs of fecal water syndrome. Guys, there’s so many microplastics. If we pulled all of them out at once, my gosh, your horse would have so much diarrhea and so much colic and get dehydrated so fast, it would be a disaster.

Renee (07:30)
Faster. Everyone would say, Hey, your stuff doesn’t work. Well, technically it is working, but just way too fast. So it’s designed to self-modulate and just do enough a little bit at a time to release the microplastics a little bit at a time and heal up the intestine a little bit at a time. So it’s comfortable for the horse. Now, you would see results, generally changes in about a week. But please, if you do try this, keep using it. You want to get it all out. You also like to, if at all possible, stop with the bagged feeds. Any bagged feed Ideally, get rid of supplements. Other than vitamins and minerals, the best source that you can. But we just want free choice, 24/7 available, mixed species of hay. All different kinds. The more kinds, the better. The more kinds of hay, the more kinds of microorganisms, the happier they got. We do want to avoid rye and alfalfa. I realize some people are stuck, and that’s what you got. Just do the best you can. Okay? Your horse knows you’re trying, and that’s really what matters. But let’s see. I think that might be about it.

Renee (08:55)
It’s fairly straightforward. It’s microplastics. They have an electromagnetic affinity for the large intestine. They are essentially blocking absorption of water. We get rid of microplastic slowly but surely, and the intestine will heel itself up, and the horse will be fine. And that is all. So let me know if you have any questions, and we’ll talk to you guys next time. Thanks for watching.
