Hay

Hi Dr Getty I have 3 more months of coastal hay left for Troy, I need to find a back up for the coastal. What would be the next safest hay for him to eat to avoid more laminitis? Thanks for your help.

Re: Hay

Hi Elyce,

The perennial peanut hay you mentioned will work as a substitute for alfalfa, but I do not recommend it as the only hay you'd provide. So, if grass hay is not available, consider getting grass hay cubes -- many feed stores will carry Timothy cubes, for example.

All the best,

Dr. Getty
