Hey everyone,
Yesterday we rescued two horses. An 11 year old mare and a 2 year old colt. The place we got them from had zero grass. They were eating off a round bale of some type of hay. Both are very under weight. I am almost positive they have worms (they both itch their tails.) I want to deworm ASAP but I don't wanna use propac. Are there any others that would work just as well that can be bought at places like tractor supply? I am also worried about the chances of laminitis. I didn't have a choice but to move them to a pasture of grass. There are no stalls or any way for me to keep them from eating all day. I live in Florida so that grass isn't super nutritious but I'm not sure if that matters.
Anyone else have a rescue horse? I really need advice on the best way to go about getting them fat again. They seem to be in great health
