Is there an update available on this horse? What did you find out from the vet? Did you have the teeth floated??
Thanks
Thanks
Is she penned with the other horses? if i were you, i would separte her from all but one (she needs a companion) fence off a plot of grass for the two of them. Really monitor her food. if she's with a bunch of other horses, she might not be getting as much as the others. hoses have a pecking order and with her being as small as she is, she could be at the bottom. is she too old to be worked? if not, lunge her to build up muscle, energy, and appetite.JoLy":vprgsg2f said:My family has 3 Arabian Mares. One is 15 yo, the other two are 14 y.o.s. The two bays 15 and one 14 y.o are both sleek, healthy and happy. Then there is Angy, a sickly looking thing with screaming ribs and hip bones. She was the result of a neglectful breeder who fed Angie's momma "calf lick" or something like that during the pregnancy, basically no real feeding supplement. She has horrible conformation, and was going to be put down right after birth, but with the help of some friends, we rescued her, after all, she is the half sister of one of our other horses.
We feed the bays and Angy the same feed, worm regularly, and have a mineral block and water available at all times. Yet her health has deteriorated until now she is literally nothing but skin nd bones. We have been giving her Weight Builder and red Cell for several months now, and we have seen little to no results.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? Any ideas? Even though she can never be ridden, she is a great conpanion horse and I've had her since she was a weanling, I would hate to see her suffer anymore than she has too if I can do anything
