Re: Another weight question!

Hi Lisa,

Thank you for your patience. Actually, Purina Ultium would be a better choice since it is higher in fat than oats, contains several forage sources, and is fortified with valuable nutrients.

All the best,

Dr. Getty

Thank you so much for your help- I have just ordered the Ration Plus and Live Yeast.

Just to clarify- Would you recommend adding these two to the oats we are currently feeding, or should we go ahead and switch over to a feed such as Ultium, plus the Ration Plus and Live Yeast?

Thanks!!
Lisa
