Well, that didn't work... Now what?

So it's been a month since the vet saw Flash. And still no real improvement and no real weight gain.

Week 1

Week 5

Week 1

Week 5

So, I've been discussing him on a few forums and with the vet and we've decided to try something a little different than what I  was previously doing. Just in case he is insulin resistant (which might not show in the blood work) we are switching him from the wet cob to alfalfa pellets. I just finished up my bag of wet cob, so the new feeding regime begins tonight... I'm hoping this will start to make a difference now. So the formula will now be alfalfa pellets, rice bran, oil, weight builder and water to make it the consistency of oatmeal. He was downing the last formula I had so I'm hoping he likes this just as well. 

He's such a picky eater sometimes, so wish us luck... 

Also, guess what showed up last night...

Yes, it is the sun. Your eyes are not fooling you...

And it's still here today. Finally all that praying to the sun god has payed off. YAY!!

  1. My aunt told me about some stuff that has enzymes and crap in it and helps with digestion and colic. I will give you her email if you want it.

  2. Sure... and I'm going to be adding probiotics, but had to order them in. The feed store here had never heard of them LOL
