Hello. If she is not having any issues, then there is usually nothing more to give her except for plenty of good grass hay, some concentrates, either as a sweet feed or a pelleted feed, & a salt block. A senior pelleted feed might be appropriate for Destiny, but if you are concerned about a health issue, you should consult your veterinarian for this. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Hello, I'm always glad to help you! I'm not sure about horse plants in the US, but I know they have them in New Zealand where I live. Yes, it is safe and acceptable to use in pet food, there are plants here that process horses for pet food. I *believe* a lot of it is sent overseas. I'm not sure how common it is. I hope this helps!

Hello. The only way to avoid the problem is to avoid the hay. I would definitely make sure you can get & keep some bute on your farm, & the first signs of stocking up, start the bute. If you can familiarize yourself with how the weed looks in the hay, you can pick through it to remove as much as you can. Good luck & thanks for using Boop by Petco.

A change in fecal consistency is not unusual when the seasons change. Weather can affect water & sugar content in all forages. As long as they are eating & drinking & acting normal, I would not be overly concerned. If you have not dewormed, this is a good time to do so using Equimax Gold, or Quest. If either horse continues with the soft stool, & especially if you notice any weight loss, please contact your veterinarian. Thank you for using Boop by Petco.

This looks like the result of a chronic trauma or infection creating a proliferative skin inflammation (that is why it looks like a lump). A check up, appropriate disinfection and possibly antibiotics or antifungal meds (oral, topical or in a shampoo formulation) are needed to solve the problem. Disinfection can eventually be started at home with very diluted hibiscrub or betadine or salted water baths.
