Skinny 37 year old horse!!!?

I have a 37 year old horse who has dropped alot of weight in the past few weeks. We have had the vet out to her, he does not think her teeth are a problem, which is what i initially thought. He doesnt seem to think there is anything wrong health wise, but possibly with age she isnt absorbing as many nutrients from feed as she should. He has given me a vitamin paste to add to her feeds.


I was after some advice on what to feed her. I am currently feeding weight lifter, but was wondering if there is anything better out there??????


We do know that feeding may not work, but we are going to give it a good shot...

I would definitely try SENIOR -- It has good nutrition and is very easy for the horse to digest. Also, try giving your horse EQUISHINE. It has all of the vitamins and supplements that your horse needs and it's great for all ages of horses (just give your horse one scoop once a day and it should be fine).


I would have your vet look at your horse as well, but not at the weight. Many horses will get a disease or cancer and drastically lose a lot of weight in just a few weeks time. That's one of the first signs of cancer. It's probably just because your horse is older, but it's always better to be safe than sorry:)


Other than that, I'd give your horse SENIOR and EQUISHINE with a little extra grain.


I hope this helps and good luck with your horse!:)
Reply:With my older horses I have always fed Equine Senior which is made by Purina. It's a really good senior feed which is easily digestible for the older guys.Here's a link that will give you more information. Good luck!!
