[QUOTE="Hippie Rancher, post: 743715, member: 4203"] what is the "horse feed" you are giving 3 lbs of? That sounds low for feeds I am familiar with. I am also not familiar with brome, so perhaps I am not one to give advice here. But if he can eat a whole BALE of hay a day, either they are small bales or it is not very nutritious.??? I would give a poor keeper alfalfa free choice and maybe push some "senior" formula feed (10 lbs or more per day - but work up to it over 10 days to two weeks) on him to see if the weight comes up. Did your vet run any samples to see what worms he thinks are present? Seems he went downhill after the castrating - did he run a fever at that time? Possible infection that he still isn't over?
