Troubleshooting

Horse is not gaining weight.

Increase the amount of Lo-Cal Balancer gradually, and ensure adequate forage intake. Consider adding a high-quality oil supplement if necessary. Consult with a vet or nutritionist if the issue persists.

Horse is losing weight.

Review the feeding amount to ensure it meets the horse's needs, and address any other potential health issues with a vet. Check dental health as well.

Poor coat condition.

Ensure the horse is receiving adequate levels of Lo-Cal Balancer and essential fatty acids. Consider adding a supplement rich in omega-3 fatty acids if needed.

Loose droppings.

Ensure that the amount of the feed is not too high and ensure your horse has plenty of access to clean water. Reduce the amount of feed and consult with a vet.
