Milton is cruising on Purina Outlast. It seems to be helping. It’s not ulcers, we’ve been down that road. We’ve been down many roads with him. Supplements, new feeds, husbandry changes. They help for a while and then don’t. Outlast seems to have staying power. So far.
Now we are wondering if Milton was truly fat in the past. Or was he bloated and puffy from whatever weirdness is going on within his digestive system? That would explain the pot belly. Current project is trying to get the right kind of weight on him.
OTOH, Rodney remains skinny, despite free choice timothy. He can’t get unlimited alfalfa nor piles of grain. Too many fancy calories and they start leaking out his ears, making him whack-a-doodle.
Thoroughbreds. Not know for being easy keepers.
Onwards!

Maybe that’s why it’s called “Outlast”?
