Thanks for the replies. Took her to vets this morning she had a full check over. She had full glands which were emptied (urgh) an anti b jab and bloods taken. Bloods have come back clear and vet said try her again tonight/morning and if no improvement take her for x rays. Good news she has eaten...

Yes I know about the denta stix but she gets so excited about them we do let her have one each evening she sulks without. I've tried standing with her and just leaving the bowl next to her bed all day. We never really give her any tit bits but if we do she will eat that and it's just strange she...

I know about the denta stix but our prob we gave them to her as a treat when she was younger and she looks forward to them now at bedtime. She has a muesli mix which she has wolfed down since we changed her to it a few months ago after finding out how bad bakers was!! I relented and bought a...

I have a 4 year old spaniel who religiously has two meals a day and always eats straight away. A few days ago she turned her nose at her breakfast and I didn't think anything of it other than having a princess moment! It has now been four days and we have bought some alternative food which...

ive looked at aubiose too. i am so undecided and being so far out of the way need to order a pallet and dont want to get it wrong. with aubiose you need to dampen and leave wet in, am i right in thinking? really i dont want to do this as I like to keep the beds clean etc and dont want the...

how does it compare with absorbency of wet? i am looking at buying a pallet but ive never seen or used it before so any advice would be greatly appreciated. prices i have received so far are cheaper than shavings round me which are pretty small bales also.

thank you guys i have even more to think about now. In answer to straw i used it for many years and used to hate the smell even though I fully mucked out everyday and also the size of the muck heap and disposing of it was just a bit of an issue. think i may try and shop around and see what i...

I have read so many posts lately i am really confused. I am in the position that I will be able to stable my horses overnight shortly and after reading many posts I am a bit confused what to use for bedding. I have traditonally when available used shavings on rubber mats but last time I...

thanks guys your a great help. not used it before so was a little unsure. i will stick to what the bag says and see how it goes. he hasnt dropped much condition yet (just from reducing work) but i know come jan is when it really hits him and hes not getting any younger is when I need to be ahead...

i have bought some blue chip to feed to my horse to help with condition etc over the winter after seeking some advice on here. just a quick question it recommends 3 cup fulls a day to a 16hh horse. does this seem a bit excessive? i was going to start with maybe half a cup and try this out. what...

just checked her again and she is still just stood moved a little but not a lot. her ears are pricked and eyes seem bright but just not sure whats up with her. i dont have any facilities to bring her in so i can only just keep checking on her but she would never rest for this long

she has had a wee since ive been watching her but she is just stood as if resting. she ate her food quietly which isnt unusual she just normally a little boisterous when she has it. i have only seen her eating grass once before i plastered her in cream. she is still just stood about and not...

hi there i have been home from work for two hours now and one of my usual boistrous horses just isnt herself. shes stood around just looking really dozy i had already given her some feed before i noticed how miserable she looked. i have just been to check on her again and she was surrounded by...
