Vet's been tofay....

[mattilda]

To see Haddy. He went off his food last Friday and I have been so worried about him. He had been grazing quite happily and eating his hay but no hard feed. I did finally manage to get some down him but he is making me work hard. He is 31 so I panic that I will have to make a decision. He is very bright though but decided to make sure there was nothing else going on.
Anyway vet was amazed at how well he looked and said everything was fine. Took some bloods which showed he was slightly anaemic but again nothing to worry about.
So any suggestions for tasty and fattening feed to tempt him with? He currently has turned his nose up at Alfa A oil and Baileys No 1, but will eat SpillersSenior conditioning mix and Baileys conditioning nuts.

Suggestion - get a bag of fennel seeds from an INdian grocer (or TEsco often have them) throw a handful in - it's slightly tonic, and they love the flavour.

Got my 4 on Winergy low energy which they all like, puts the weight on slowly with out the hassle of them getting over heated.

Thanks guys have put both on my shopping list. I think he is just being a grumpy old git who likes to wind me up now and then. He is not skinny but can't really afford to lose any weight. Little horror he is!!

I had my old lad on Old Faithful, I gave it him with warm Alphabeet and he loved it... Might help? Good luck!! x
