Here you will find more than 6 years of questions and my answers. It is searchable and offers a great deal of information. 

Currently, I am discontinuing new questions. This may change in the future, but in the meantime, please know that It has been a true pleasure serving you. 

Take a look at my Nutrition Library and Tips of the Month for a variety of answers on selected topics. Be sure to sign up for my monthly e-newsletter, Forage for Thought. 

I also have a growing number of recordings on "Teleseminars on Nutrition Topics that Concern You" as well as the new, Spotlight on Equine Nutrition Series -- printed versions of favorite teleseminars.

Re: Horse not eating his hay

Thanks for your advise! I am actually looking at getting a companion for him, hopefully we'll be able to get her this next weekend. I questioned having his teeth floated, but was told that was only if he wasn't eating his feed. So I'm definately going to contact our vet....and get another horse for his companion! :) Thanks

Re: Horse not eating his hay

Hi Brooke,

You're on the right track! I hope all goes well with the new buddy. And, you're wise to have his teeth floated -- by the time they start dropping feed, it is way overdue, painful, and sores can develop inside the mouth.

All the best,

Dr. Getty
