As well as reducing sugars as much as you can - you're going the right way getting her off grass and onto hay that's been soaked for a long time - exercise is also vital. Try to do at least a 30 minute brisk walk a day. If the weight isn't shifting talk to your vet about metformin tablets, they can help get things under control until the diet and exercise kick in.

Be very careful with what you pick. I know you've got the dentist booked for mid October, but could you get the vet to have a look at them sooner? Soaked hay is probably the safest forage for her, so if she can eat that then that's the best bet.
