You might want to try 1/2 cup of bran and lots of water and wheat germ oil. I have used this on my horses and it seems to keep them colic free. After my Arab colic 4 yrs ago. My Vet recommended it and both my Fjord and Arab love it and it keeps them lubed enough that they don't compact. I give it once a week in the cold winter and once a week especially in the hot summer when temps get up their in the 100o marks. You might want to cut back on the grain/oats. Just grass hay and a powder vitamin supplement would work. I use to be a nurse and my vet approved all this and it works great.!! Hope it helps!! You can also give Probios paste it comes in tubes and keeps their guts going , because it contains active bacteria . You can get it in the horse catalogs or supply stores. I use both Bran mixture and Probios It keeps them flowing nicely. Bye, Susan / Colorado
