As some of you know I rescued two mares in December and I have had some weight issues with one of them. I have doubled my hay feeding and up grain on Bea. I thought I had seen a small weight gain but yesterday I looked at her again real close and she seems real thin again, back bone and ribs I can still feel and she is seeming sunk in at the flanks. I am beginning to think she is having teeth issues with the coarse hay I have. My vet just had her spleen removed due to a horse accident and is unable to check if teeth need to be floated. So my guestion is should I get her on beet pulp or alfalfa pellets. And should I soak the alfalfa if you think this would help. I am getting low on hay due to trying to make sure she has enough. Please help. I will go pick up whatever you guys think would be the best, this poor girls acts like she is starving.
