I’m having trouble weaning my horse off nexium. When he is on 3 or 2 pills a day, he does great! Eats great, weight is good, coat condition good, happy in work, not touchy in his body. When I try to wean he gets extremely touchy through his body, nippy and spooky. I’m wondering about a more affordable plan to get him through.
My original plan was to scope and then proceed with gastroguard or whatever was needed…
Now with pandemic and thinking I’m going to be out of job soon, the money saved up is probably going to board and mortgage instead stressful times that we didn’t forsee.
I’m going to talk to my vet about a more affordable option but not sure where to go from here. I really don’t feel comfortable dropping money on 30 days of gastroguard and a scope. This really sucks.
I’m thinking of trying to add some succeed or equishure to help. Or assure guard.
I could do sulcrafate or something else if we aren’t too locked down and can continue going to the barn. Unfortunately don’t know if I can trust barn staff to give anything 3 times a day.
I noticed today his hay wasn’t fed in his hay net which isn’t helping. They use it when they feel like it I guess.
I’m just going to do the best I can. He’s eating well besides swishing his tail the whole time. Ugh I just want him to be 100% but this situation is going to be tough.
