[QUOTE="Terri, post: 46123, member: 325"] I have a mare that I got almost 2 years ago. When I got her she was starved and almost dead. Just skin and bones. No muscle left. She had a few problems but gained weight and was doing very well. I sold her 2 months ago and just went last week and got her back. She wasn't eating and lost about 150lbs. The people who had her had taken her to the vet and they floated her teeth and still wouldn't eat. They took her toanother vet and he tranqualized her and found a rotten tooth and had it pulled. Still wasn't eating. The vet suggested bute because she might be in pain from all the teeth work and she coliced. I have her back here and she is still not eating her grain but is grazing and picking some of the leaves out of her alfalfa. Won't touch the coastal hay. She is starting to gain a bit of weight. My vet said it sounds like ulcers since she coliced when she was given bute. There is no way I can afford to keep her on the gastro guard for a month. Does any one know of any other meds that aren't so expensive? Gastro guard runs $35 a tube here. (one tube a day+$35=very hungry me!) Oh yea, her lungs are clear and her temp. is normal and she was on a daily wormer here and at the other place and was also being beat up by the dominant mares(not here). I have ordered the wormer that kills tapeworms. I would really appreciate any input on how to help her. Thanks Terri [/QUOTE]
