Horses may begin losing weight for many reasons. Causes include poor diet, intestinal parasitism (worms), dental pain (sharp or pointed tooth edges, tooth root abscess, loose or worn teeth), gastric ulceration, chronic colic, or systemic disease. A thorough examination by one of our doctors can help to determine the cause of weight loss, upon which a treatment program can be initiated.
