Important Veterinary Advice
Equine diarrhoea may have infectious, dietary, parasitic, inflammatory, medication-related or other potentially serious causes. It can result in dehydration and electrolyte loss and should not be managed with supplementation alone.
Seek prompt veterinary advice if a horse develops diarrhoea, particularly if the horse is a foal, appears unwell, has a fever, shows signs of colic or dehydration, or if the diarrhoea is severe or persistent. Follow appropriate hygiene and isolation procedures where an infectious cause may be suspected.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Plusvital Micro-Sponge used for?
Plusvital Micro-Sponge is formulated to support the equine gastrointestinal tract during digestive disturbance. It helps absorb excess water, support normal manure consistency, maintain intestinal mucosal integrity and encourage a balanced gut microbiome.
Is Micro-Sponge a treatment for the cause of diarrhoea?
Micro-Sponge provides gastrointestinal support but does not replace diagnosis or treatment by a veterinarian. Diarrhoea can have several serious underlying causes, including infection, parasites, dietary disruption and inflammatory conditions, so veterinary assessment is important.
What is the difference between the powder and syringe formats?
The 500g product is a powder designed for bulk use. The separate syringe format offers a convenient follow-up option for individual administration. Always follow the directions supplied with the specific formulation and consult your veterinarian about which format is appropriate.
How should Plusvital Micro-Sponge 500g be administered?
Use Plusvital Micro-Sponge only as directed on the label and by a veterinary surgeon. The appropriate quantity, frequency and duration may vary according to the horse’s age, body weight and clinical condition.
Does a horse with diarrhoea need veterinary attention?
Yes. Diarrhoea can quickly cause dehydration and electrolyte loss and may indicate a potentially serious or infectious condition. Contact a veterinarian promptly, particularly for foals or horses showing fever, colic, weakness, reduced appetite or other signs of illness.
