Overrun with beasties
This morning one of our mules got into the chickens feed and ate about 1/4 of it!
Should I be worried??
Should I be worried??
Sorry my bad it was a 50 lb bag that I was gonna put in my big trash can that I store feed in1/4 of what? 1/4 of a 5 lb bag--10 lb sack---a 50lb sack?
It makes a lot of difference.
It’s grain. Tonight or tomorrow early I’ll contact my vetThat's a lot. around 12 lbs.
Grain or pellets?
Either way, you will want to watch for colic.. right now, keep him walking and don't let him drink big quantities of water all at once. and in the coming days, watch carefully for hoof problems.
And some chicken feed can contain a substance toxic to horses in relatively small amounts...monensin.
Honestly, you need to get the label off the chicken feed so you know what is in it and get on the phone with a vet asap. This can be serious and it can happen quickly.
thank you!Best of luck today llama girl, hope vet gives your critter a clean bill of health ....
