Re: Weight Loss Problem.

Is the pony old?? Must be very fussy!! Have you tried Pink Powder? Its non-heating and puts condition on. You could also try adding sunflower or corn oil to his feed.

How much grazing is he getting? Have you tried soaking his haylege, see if he likes that? He should be getting enough bulk feed, which is usually a haynet in the morning and at night.

You should contact your vet if the situation gets worse, especially now we're getting into winter. There may be an underlying health issue which could explain why he isn't eating. Have you had the dentist out recently? Is there any possibility his teeth need seeing to?
