Nos this might be silly as i am pretty tired. But do you find with medical conditions or when a horse is in pain that they drop weight?
The reason i ask is because i was going through some old photos. That were taken 2 weeks before sox had lami or was diagnosed with it (years ago) and he was looking fab before. Then he was on 4 days worth of box rest or him doing laps for 4 days before a stable size field and adlib soaked hay with two large feed until.. We could increase the size of how pen. By the first of sept he has already lost Alot of weight and by the middle of sept you could see alot of his ribs and the bones on his withers . That with zero muscle and high withers... (He looked not far off rspca case though was seen weekly by vets). By the end of sept he was putting the weight back on but still low but did make improvements as he won his fight with lami in nov.
Sox is clearly extreme and a worrier. But i guess... the box rest... the 4 day box walking,the lami,the pen rest and that he is a worrier... would that be enough for him to drop a huge amount.of weight in 2 months?
