My horse is 38 and only diagnosed cushings nov 15, he had mild lami approx 12 years prior. He has always been on a high fibre diet as he was sharp and spooky, retired now.
You are doing the correct thing with the diet, as someone else suggests, a conversation with the vet with her present...
Mine wouldn't touch it and it sent my friends mare loopy
For weight gain you could use solution mash, or Saracen releve, add micronized linseed

I give my 38 year old Topspec Senior lite Balancer and at the time his tail was falling out, after being on the balancer it stopped and started to regrow. He is on Topspec fibre plus cubes which is just fibre nothing and the supplement at the time I didn't know didn't have everything in he...

Cut a long story short, my 38 yr old lost weight last year and I put him on Topspec fibre plus cubes + senior light balancer, 5 feeds a day put weight on in 2 months now maintaining on half that amount. If your horse will eat more that 1 scoop per feed you could give 3 feeds
Micronised...
Topspec fibre plus cubes and senior lite balancer soaked into a mash, for weight gain 5 feeds a day, now maintaining on half the amount plus micronized linseed.
Saracen Releve is also good along with their equijewel, out of the 2 I prefer the micronized linseed
