And that it could cause kidney stones because of it. We bought a mare at auction that was thin and because she was so sweet and very well trained we thought we’d fatten her up and give her a good home. Once we got her home we discovered she was thin because she wasn’t eating or drinking. We had our vet out immediately and after a week of trying everything he told us it was most likely calcium stones due to a rich alfalfa diet and that there wasn’t anything we could do. Sadly we had to put her down. Recently I answered a question on here saying that I feed a bermuda/alfalfa blend and that this was the reason. A couple of people commented that they had never heard that and seemed to think I was full of it… Now I am wondering if anyone else has ever heard of this or was Dr just trying to find something to explain her condition and came up with it since he didn’t have a real answer? Interested in your opinions and experiences! Thanks all!
