Four horses with diarrhea had radiographic evidence of large quantities of sand in the gastrointestinal tract. Initially, none of the horses had sufficient fecal sand quantity to suggest sand enteropathy. Diarrhea resolved in all horses within 2 days of oral administration of psyllium hydrophilic mucilloid. Historically, all 4 horses had lost weight or had difficulty maintaining weight. After treatment was administered, the horses either gained weight or were easier to maintain in good condition.
四匹患有腹泻的马在影像学上显示胃肠道内有大量沙子。最初，没有一匹马的粪便含沙量足以提示沙性肠病。在口服车前草亲水胶浆后的2天内，所有马的腹泻都得到了缓解。从历史情况来看，所有这四匹马都出现过体重减轻或难以维持体重的情况。在进行治疗后，这些马要么体重增加了，要么更容易保持良好状态。
