Hi Elva, Wouldn't reduce his total intake below 1.5% of ideal body weight. What is his current weight, what is his total feed amount? As a TWH he is genetically primed to be IR. The leptin

My vet wants me to add Quiessence and metformin to Whiskey. He is about 100 lbs. overweight plus reduce his hay cubes to 16 lbs. daily. I'm not sure what these three things will do. I don't mind
