| When mine went off his grain he had ulcers. He ate his hay and alfalfa. Got him treated and changed my feeding program to no grain. I thought if that if grain is what he is refusing it must be hurting his stomach so why continue to feed it. |

| She has been scoped for ulcers. But Im thinking these are hind gut. Just took her off the renew gold. Did not like the way she looked on it. Changed to the blue bonnett and now she has stopped eating grain. She is getting oxymax and Oxy Ulcer. So you would think she would be feeling better. |

| Ready to rodeo is familiar with curost already. :) Maybe just feed hay few days. I would also try and find a grain with No molasses. Molasses really sets mine off. Or if you still have some curost stomach paste her with it. |

go to nouvelleresearch.com or secondvet.com. The vet who makes it has a forum where he answers questions and you can read other peoples posts. It may take him awhile to answer you back, but he will get back with you. There are articles and research for you to read also on nouvelleresearch.com |

| My 2 yo went off of Bluebonnet Intesify Omega force, a few days after she started acting strange - sort of colicky. I took her to the clinic and she had a fecal exam for parasites and for blood (from ulcers). Had both - got rid of the worms and treated for ulcers. She started eating it again after the worms were gone. |

| She has been wormed. Now being treated for ulcers (hind gut ). I really it's something to do with the feed. Talked to BB rep and she is going to ck on the batch #. Yes I am familiar with Curost. Vet thinks that it might have something to do with this . |

Location: East Tennessee but who knows?! | Has she always been finicky about her grain, or is this something new?
I'm a firm believer in listening to their appetite to tell you what is working. Some horses do fine on a pelleted or low starch feed but others don't - I have one now that doesn't and he tested positive on hind gut and his acupunture points tested positive for gastric. He's classic case. He's on straight grains, some alfalfa, and grass hay because that's what he'll stay on and he's blossomed. He doesn't do well on high fat either.
I've got another one in that I suspect ulcers on and he does better on low starch & beet pulp.
They're all different but I think their appetite will tell you what doesn't bother their gut. |

| She is eating. Licking her bucket. Took her off the Blue Bonnett Sr feed
. Fed her 2 cups of Triple Crown Sr. and 1/2 32 Oz cup of Renew Gold. Added the Oxymax and intensive hoof. Also giving Oxy Ulcer. I called Blue Bonnett yesterday. Was told they had not had a issue with the feed. But this does make me think it was the feed. |

| Triple Crown has molasses in it so i dont blame her for wanting to eat that. I highly recommend running a fecal. This exact scenario happened to me. my horses are regularly wormed also, but it doesnt mean they are guaranteed to be clean. |

| She got only 2 cups of the Sr. the rest was the Renew Gold. I have had a fecal done, I do that before worming. Dont believe in worming if they dont have worms. I really believe this was the feed. She is touchy back by her flanks, so hindgut ulcers are possible. Which I am treating for ulcers. |

| Her flanks are no longer sensative to touch. So something
In theblue bonnett was irritating her hind gut. She did this on oats and when she was on Curost. So I think I am on the right track. |

| How long have you been feeding the Oxygen products?
I am going to assume that at least some of it is a paste and can be administered whether the horse eats or not -
Sometimes it takes a while for the formulation to start tot work - every horse is a little different |

I have been told numerous times that fecals don't show everything. I'm not sure of the details, maybe it was the encrusted ones? |

| She does not have worms. I use one of the best vets in the country. And I am very diligent in worming and taking care of her. This problem originated from the feed. She was very touchy in front of the flank area. After stopping the feed she is no longer sensitive there. And like I mentioned before I am treating her for ulcers. Both fore and hind gut. |

| Glad you figured out what your mare was getting sick from. I can't get blue bonnet out here in CA but am disappointed to hear that is what caused it. From all I have read on this board blue bonnet is a quality feed that is made in safe mills. Word of caution on the triple crown........ I used to love love love love triple crown senior!!!!! Stuff was amazing. However now it is bagged by nutrena/cargill. Not all of their mills are safe and there have been quite a few reports on this board of horses having some problems with triple crown. Some mills are safe some are not depends on the region of the country your in. Unfortunately out here in CA it is not safe. Sounds like your on the right track! |
