I work at a therapeutic riding center. One of our older 30 something year old horses has facial nerve damage. He cannot chew well or push food back well with his tongue. Has anyone had any experience with "bottle feeding" an older horse or any weight building suppplements that work well. Any advice would be appreciated. We are running out of ideas. Thanks IP: Logged |

Gosh, at 30 yrs of age, they are starting to simmer down chew-wise a bit anyhow, and many use Senior food, a pelletized type feed which breaks up easier than whole grain feed. The big worry is choking. I wouldn't think bottle feeding is gonna be maintaining him well though. How about calling your local/state veterinary college, or the person who has been filing his teeth yearly perhaps. I bet the answer is a call away. Good luck. IP: Logged |

at 30 if he has problem like that then the best thing for him is probably to put him sleep IP: Logged |
