Hi all
My mare is currently recovering from laminitis, she is on her 11th day of box rest.
The vet has been out and told me to feed her 7.5kg of soaked hay per day. She is having this triple netted and spread over 3 feeds per day (2kg at 8am, 2kg around 2pm and 3.5kgs at 6pm) This is the best I can do as I work full time.
It isnt lasting her long so she is going hours with out eating anything which worries me...
She is a 15.2 irish sports horse weighing around 550kg, according to a weigh tape.
Should I be feeding any other supplements? She was getting a handful of Top Spec Top Chop Lite to feed her bute, her bute ended 2 days ago.
Ive read so much online about feeding, one says one thing, another says something else.
Thank you
