Is dry bran good to stop loose stools in horses?

In old times bran was thought to be a laxative for horses because it worked for humans. However recent research shows that bran does not contain enough fiber to really act as a laxative and can cause calcium / phosphorus imbalances. So if a horse is experiencing loose stools it would be better not to give bran. You should contact a equine veterinarian to ask about the cause of the loose stool. Once you know what is causing it, you can treat the cause directly.

Your son is 10 months old and has very loose stools you do not know if this is normal or not but what can you do to help this?

Juice was often the cause of loose stools in my children at that age. They really don't need juice at all, especially if they are eating fruits & veggies. If the baby is thirsty between formula/breast feeding, try some water (although mine didn't like that too much) or water down the juice. Antibiotics also can cause loose stools. Hope this helps.
