This is Charlie, a 9 year old grey, TB gelding.  His issues were primarily weight loss and loss of muscle
mass.  His skin & coat looked reasonable.  His hooves had significant bruising on all four walls.  His
attitude was a mixture of highly reactive and lethargic.   He showed signs of a tender belly.
The plan for Charlie is to balance his minerals, increase his calories significantly, add lysine to his diet
along with EFA's, Vit. E, salt, and Slippery Elm Bark Powder for his belly.

Charlie is doing very well.  His weight is improving, he is gaining muscle, and best of all his young
devoted owner is able to ride him again and enjoy the relationship with her friend.

I saw a huge improvement with his hind end, chest and neck muscles.  He was also much quieter
during this visit.  His coat looked healthy as did his hooves.
