I have recently switched my 21 year old gelding over to just oats because he started choking frequently on soaked hay pellets and oats mixed together. He continues to cough at feeding time and oats come out of his nose. He hasn’t had the hay pellets in 1 week. He is drinking and eating hay fine. I feed him in a large feed pan so the oats are spread out thin and I add water to them. Any ideas? He only gets 1/2 lb. of oats. ~Elizabeth
I would suggest having him scoped by your veterinarian..probably not an issue but need to be sure no obstructions..
