[QUOTE="Terri, post: 46561, member: 325"] I had her on gastroguard for 4 days and bought some U guard for her. She started eating a little bit on Sun. night. I also wormed her Monday and made her take some sand free. I don't know about the other place, but it is very dry and dusty here. I give all my horses the sand free once a month. One of my neighbours had a horse stop eating and when the vet gave her the mineral oil(impacted), she passed a bunch of mud. I talked to my vet this morning and he said her teeth are very worn down, and they are crooked. He doesn't think that she is all that old (about 18, old enough) but her teeth were loose from the malnutrition when I got her. They are firm now but no longer in place. He filed down the points so they wern't cutting her cheeks. Also her mouth may still be sore from all the work and try to soak her feed. The meds are working on her ulcer and she is starting to eat a little bit. She has gained a bit of weight since comming back home. Her hip bones aren't sticking out so much now. My mare ate 2 lbs of pellets and 1/2lb of boiled oats tonight!!! [/QUOTE]
