well it’s been nearly three weeks since I got a Shock after removing Kia’s rug to find a horrid weight loss.
Four feeds a day plus hay seems to be making a difference no end in a short space of time. He is getting the rest of this week on four then I’ll go down to three to see how he is.
We are also another week on 1+1/4 mg Prascend before I try him with 1/2. This is where we got to the last time and he went all depressed so hoping it’s not the case this time.
I have decided after seeing his coat full of scurf and flakes and bumps again that I will be clipping him. His coat is too soft and thick, it’s weird as it feels lovely but it’s not doing what horse hair should be doing and it’s too soft to offer much of anything I think. So it’s coming off. I’ve brought him in to dry him off before I groom him ready for clipping tomorrow. It’s not that nice up here but very mild so I’ll get it done before the freezing cold hits tomorrow night.
