I just mix them in so it keeps her interested as she likes to try & find the cubes.

Hi She is getting a full mollichop bag of hay (pressed down) at night but i also give her two feeds now at night as well as a half bucket of senior fibre & sixteen plus cubes to eat thoughout the night. She still has some hay left but has eaten everything else. She then has a large breakfast...

Hi everyone. Just a quick update on my horse. Ason Monday she showed a big improvement. I didnt mention it as was sure it was going to last. But she has started to drag me around, she is loads happier in her self & at last has started to gain a bit of weight. We went to the vets & had the X...

Im am doing & she is having x rays on Thursday. I have added even more linseed as well as her now getting sixteen plus cubes & spillers senior fibre. She has a hay bar which is full at night then as much hay as she wants in the field in a big barrel with more cubes & senior fibre mixed into it...

She is having them on Thursday. I will let you know

Im still waiting for the go ahead by the insurance company. In the meantime. I have had her put in a sick paddock with hay & a feed. I am also waiting for my delivery of dodson & horrell sixteen plus cubes & spillers senior fibre so i can give her them out in the field too. I am throwing vit b...

Now spoken to the vet & taking her in for xrays. Her weight is now leveling out but taking everyones advice & getting some caleries into her too. Just waiting to find out if the insurance will pay out for any of this so fingers crossed.

Not grass sickness or ragwort. Waiting to speak to Vet & dodsen & horrell call backs.

No she isnt on conditioning feed as such as my vet said what i was feed her was fine. We both think there is something else going on more than just losing weight as my horse is just skin & bone in less than 3 months. I have trebled her feed & hay as well as adding Linseed meal, fenugreek & fibre...

Going to speak to my vet today to see if im ok giving her a different feed or if she wants me to wait til after the cushings test. As i mentioned before, i dont think its just a case of losing weight as she has had her feed & hay trebled & loads of conditioning feeds in the last 3 months with no...

I will get that from them. Pretty distressing today as she nipped at my arm for no reason. First time she has bitten me in the 18 years i have had her. She is a totally different horse to the one i have had for so long.

Im not sure as she said she was high negative. She did two loads of blood tests now.

Thats really good news. It is nice to hear from someone who is going thro what i am. What have you been told to give your horse? How much tablets are you giving him. I am only on half a tablet as she is negative & have been taking them for just over a week & nothing so far

She is double rugged with a neck cover for both inside & out. The vet said she doesnt have any symptons of ulcers as i thought that too. I think the fight was only because there wasnt much grass in that field & changed fields after the kick. I think you are right about the leahurst thing though...

Thank you. I think you owe them that much. At 21 years old she isnt that old for an arab. Hope you horse gets better soon. My heart goes out to you.
