Re: horse quit eating feed

hello!
Thank you for relying! Thanks for the advice I am deffinenlty going to get him checked out and get blood work done. When I had him scoped for ulcers the vet noticed that he has crusty skin, we call it sun burn, but the vet was worried it may be much more. SO he did blood work on him to make sure his liver was working ok because he thought it was a form of photosensivity from buckwheat or st johns wort. Thanks again for repying and have a merry christmas,
Jamie

Hi Jamie,

St. John's Wort is toxic to horses, so if you are giving him this herb, it is best to discontinue it.

Hope all goes well.

Re: horse quit eating feed

hello!
No Iam not giving st johns wort to him. I looked in my pasture to see if we had it in our area to see if that maybe what is causing him to be so sensitive, but I didnt find any, luckly.
