So I am back again looking for some ideas on a mini gelding who just will not gain weight. He is 4 now and has had problems keeping weight most of his life on and off.
What I know:
He has hay available 24/7, nice soft 2nd cut grass w some alfalfa
He gets a 12% pellet twice daily, a full scoop (quart size)
He drinks well, cleans up all grain, eats hay.
Stool is softer then the outside horses but normal
Have had the vet out, teeth were done in December, did 5 day purge, have had him on ulcer meds..carafate and rinitadine with no change and I see none of the usual signs of ulcers.
Ideas???
