My very old girl (in her 40s) lost some weight very quickly and I thought I might have to call it a day for her. However her appetite is good and she still trots up the field on occasions to greet me so I felt I should give her a last chance. i changed her usual pony nuts (she has everything soaked due to dental issues), for Top Spec Conditioner. She didn't enjoy that and didn't always finish her food. I've now got her on D& H Sixteen Plus mix with Graze On chaff morning and night with a feed of Fast Fibre at lunch time. This she is eating with no problem and the weight is getting better. However she has developed a greasy coat and it is obviously irritating her and itchy. I've been grooming every day but the greasy spots are becoming lumpy. Don't really want to change her feed again but if anyone has some suggestions I'd be happy to hear them. She is turned out 24/7 with a lightweight rug. Thanks for reading.
