We have a twenty-five year old horse that just went through a bad spell. We thought we might lose him but he is fine now. About six weeks ago he started to have very loose bowel and would not eat much.
We gave him meds that the vet gave us and he had a couple of shots but it did not help him at all. We took him to another vet and this one examined him more and did some tests that revealed more about the problem.
His teeth were giving him pain for one thing. His teeth are almost all gone and he needed some of them “floated”. He also gave him more medicine and a diet to help him.
He is getting beet pulp and his senior grain along with alfalfa cubes.
Our horse now is doing well again and we hope he will last many more years. His name is Pony and he is such a good horse. He works the cows still and we trail ride on him. He likes to go to the sorting and penning games.
We would be very sad if we lose him. Of course one day we will but I hope not for a while longer.
