That is awesome! Congrats to your 15 year old!Originally Posted by KeithTN
We figure he is about 300 lbs underweight right now. He was wormed with EquiMax wormer on 5/24. He got a penicillin injection on 5/29 and again on 6/7. We're giving him about 1 1/2 lb of sweet feed twice a day and we'll increase it slightly next week. He is also in our pasture on fresh grass. Later next week, he'll have some tame Bermuda hay to munch on also. We've got to build him up slowly due to his condition when he came to us. Also he's getting daily dusting for lice, keeping BluCote on any sores, and spraying for flies every 7 days or when they start to bite on him again. I'll post more pics in another week or so. My 15 year old daughter is the one doing all the feeding, dusting and everything with the exception of the worming and injections. I'm kinda proud of her for taking on the responsibility.
Just a recommendation as far as feed goes... I am in LOVE with Purina Ultium... no bad sugar stuff, etc... lots of fat/protein.. Easy for them to digest... hard for them to collic on... and LOTS of weight gain in there
