If the horse is being fed an adequate diet, the most common reason for weight loss is tooth problems. Horses' teeth often wear unevenly when they eat, and can eventually develop sharp edges or other surface problems that make it difficult to chew properly and get enough nutrition. This is especially problematic in older horses, which need routine tooth care.
Fortunately, you can easily solve the problem by having your horse's teeth floated (filed) by the vet or an equine dentist.
If you're asking about a problem with a real horse, please consult your veterinarian.
Horses may lose weight on the same feed due to factors such as inadequate nutrition in the feed, poor quality forage, dental issues affecting feed intake, metabolic disorders like insulin resistance, or underlying health problems such as parasites or ulcers. It's important to evaluate the horse's overall health, diet, and management to address the underlying cause of weight loss.
You should feed your dog according to the list on the food bag. All foods vary on the amount of calories, nutrients, and etc. that your dog needs. If your dog is overweight then you should feed according to it's ideal weight, not the weight it is, in order to lose weight.

Common signs of clinical parasitism in horses include weight loss, poor coat condition, diarrhea, colic, lethargy, and a pot-bellied appearance. Regular fecal testing and deworming are important to prevent and manage parasitic infections in horses.
Feeding horses wet hay is not recommended as it can foster mold growth and lead to respiratory issues and digestive problems in horses. Wet hay can also lose nutrients during the fermentation process. It is best to provide horses with dry, good quality hay for optimal health.

Yes and no. Some horses may go off their feed and drop a little weight, while others are perfectly fine and stay at the same weight while losing their baby teeth.
Well grain will put weight on, not help him lose it. If the horse is overweight then you should slowly cut back on the grain and feed more grass hay instead. If the horse is in moderate to heavy work and needs the grain then choose a manufactured pellet type feed designed for overweight horses.

Sometimes people lose weight when they are ill, but there are many different kinds of illness and they have many different kinds of symptoms. It is also possible to gain weight when ill.
ask someone to watch it for you while you lose weight, sometimes its even better that they just hold onto it for you
your doctor of course! sometimes it is better to hear it from him/her.
honey you can try to loose weight but it all depends on your body type so sometimes yes sometimes noAnswer:Yes. When you lose body fat, it comes off everywhere, more or less equally. Of course, this also means that you can't just "target" one part of the body.
