Location: NeverLand | We may of found the problem! As I stated earlier in the post that my vet checked his teeth. But a neighbor of mine was having the Equine Dentist come out so I figured I would have him check his teeth as well, just for a 2nd opinion. And sure enough the were terrible! he had really sharp points and some crazy hooks in there! :( I was able to put my hand in his mouth and feel around and it was the craziest thing ever! so for those of you that wanted an update, he got his teeth done yesterday! so now lets see if his weight will improve  |

Well, there you go. As said above, this is the most missed issue. If the vet sticks his or her thumb in the corner of your horses mouth to feel the outside of the uppers and says that "they are OK for now" you need to understand that doing that really tells them very little about mouth condition. Things should change now that the horse can chew comfortably. |
