My 32 yr. old gelding was put on antibiotics after the dentist found an infection from a recent tooth extraction. He’s on them for two weeks and given soaked TC Sr and hay pellets. It’s only four days and he’s not eating either but grazing just fine. She recommended Mylanta for his stomach. I just started that today, giving him a dose, then some hand grazing, then the SMZs and then food. I’m also being sure to syringe his G.U.T. supplement into him as well.
What else should I be doing? She wants the site to heal before introducing hay after the two weeks. Oh, he’s also on daily Equioxx and 2mg Prascend. He finally gained some weight back after the tooth was initially pulled, then the infection came along. Keeping him on the SMZs for the entire two weeks is important, but so is eating at this time of year.
