I found it! I am keeping my mouth shut… I am an Ahole mom when it comes to my cats, I treat them like a kid, this is dinner, you don’t like it?? Well as Uncle Scar said. “Then staarrvveee!!!” Granted it worked with my cats but medical issues of course are a different story.
My cats are very picky about texture. I have to try all the things.
My outdoor cat loves to behead bats and eat the head? Oh he also is not crazy about the texture of field mice entrails, he leaves the guts in my carport for me 
.
Yikes! Careful with bats and rabies, my older cat (5ish) loves to maim, but not kill, mice. My cats are indoor only, so I just plugged the holes. They are very very picky about texture. No flakes in broth for my crew. They currently like stew, used to like pate.
No, it’s not a lot, usually 3 a day for a month then taper down.
Here’s the main thread.
More thinking she was a QH with a touch of TB in her:smile:. She looks really kind no matter what the her bloodlines are, so let’s keep thinking she is a super sweet QH 
Oh ya, he stays utd on his shots for sure!
They just messaged me, planning for next sat ahhhh yayyy!!!
Thank you!!!
Abler omeprazole supposedly works pretty well. It’s a feed through and not a tiny amount (looks like pop rocks candy packets). You could start with the lower dose of Nexium and see how that goes. Or sucralfate, which dissolves fast and is pretty flavorless and also supports the hind gut. I don’t know if I’d necessarily treat for ulcers right off the bat but might just see how she responds to a different diet first, as adding any meds especially to feed might make it harder to get the right feed into her. Deal with any deworming issues and dental issues. You could use one of the newer feeds that have stomach buffering ingredients to provide stomach support if she does have ulcers without adding meds at first. Like one of the Purina feeds that contain Outlast, TC Senior Gold, and I think Tribute has some now also. And as far as misoprostol, that can sometimes make them act colicky (per my vet), so maybe risky for an already underweight horse that you aren’t planning on scoping right away to confirm that’s the medication she needs.
I am going to have my vet examine her before I treat for ulcers. Good idea on the tummy support first, I was on a brainstorming binge last night. She is eating around 6lbs of triple crown senior right now, I will see what the vet says n then go from there, I definetely don’t want to do too much at once n set her back at all so thank you for the heads up n little shake that I needed haha.
Jingles for your new adorable mare! Can not wait to see her blossom and look amazing.
Fingers crossed! I asked them to measure her for me so I can have at least a turnout sheet n hood ordered for her. My mares cooler with a hood should fit her for evenings when she will be stalled, it won’t hurt to use that as a stable blanket for awhile right? I feel like between her weight issue and the fact that she looks thin skinned, I am going to want to keep her covered a lot sooner that my fat pony who needs to shiver off some lbs! He is still in a muzzle and probably will be till at least November. I swear it will be Jack Sprat n his wife around here!!

Sounds like you’re aware of this, but
she’s so thin, I’d ask the vet about refeeding syndrome as well to ensure that I’m not overwhelming her system with too much/too rich food too soon.
Thank you for taking her on. 
Oh ya I already figured that. I am going to probably start her out with the same amount she gets as of now with some electrolytes and probios, a little aloe vera juice to start and work up on that one, decent amount of hay and see what she cleans up, decide if she has any teeth issues. Limited grass since everything here in east tn is still green, I am mowing practically hay bales worth of grass everytime I mow still. I do want to do a 5 day course of wormer that worries me as far as overloading/shocking her system more than anything.
Some refeeding protocols are based on, along with general health and parasite checks, checking teeth and if a horse can eat properly, straight alfalfa, fed several times a day, like the U of Davis in California.
Alfalfa is gut supportive, even recommended when ulcers are suspected.
Has worked great for us, may want to check that with your vet.
Yes! No idea how that happened! ETA: deleted the non-sequitur!
Abler also make a tube paste version that IS very effective. I have used it on two different horses, and both scoped before and after. It works.
Ty! You always have the best advice I swear Chrono should have you on payroll! Getting alfalfa around here is a little pricey so I am plannin on trying just good amounts of mixed grass hay first and I figure I can supplement with beet pulp and alfalfa pellets soaked for a nice warm mash where it is getting colder before trying to source baled alfalfa?
Once I get weight on her I’d like to keep her on my typical ‘keep it simple stupid’ theory of backyard easy living for my pasture pets haha. My last senior just did senior feed, hay, plenty of turnout and good grass with electrolytes and previcox 1x a day and he did amazing with me for 3 years until you could tell it was his time. Of course every horse is different, but I’m hoping treating her to get the weight back on her and then just letting her be as much of a normal horse as possible will end up being the best option for her.
We will see how it goes it will be an adventure either way and of course I have amazing people like you for advice when I need it!!
