my 6 year old quarter horse is a bad cribber and she is on stall rest for 6-9 months and shes bein losing weight i was wondering if thier is anything i can give her to gain weight and to help with the cribbing we have a cribbing muzzle but it dosen't fit well on the break away halter so plz help i don't want her to die becuz she just had proud flesh removin from her leg and before she got that and the wound she was real mean and now she is toneing down and i think she will make a good riding horse and i love her lots

Stall rest is likely to just make the cribbing worse. If there was any way to turn her out to pasture to work off some steam and be a horse, I would do it. Also, movement usually helps wounds heal better as it keeps skin limber and pliable instead of healing really tight. Not sure what the injury is, but I would ask the vet for advice on turning her out.

 

IN addition to cribbing, stall rest can create enough stress to bring on stomach ulcers, esp if you aren't feeding enough bulky hay to keep her occupied. Hay can help curb the cribbing, by giving her something to do with her mouth. Hay buffers stomach acid to prevent ulcers,and any food should help with weight issues in some way. 

It's hard to say without knowing your exact situation, too. I'm just stabbing in the dark, here.

I agree with Booslier. Stalling is going to make it worse. Give her LOTS of grass hay to munch on. Maybe try one of those licky things that you mount in their stall. Hang a milk jug from the ceiling to give her something to play with. You can poke some holes in it, put some grain in it. As she throws it around little bits of grain will fall out and give her something to do. Hang an old chain from the wall. My Standardbred loves to play with chains. Think of other things you could put in there for her. Rotate them in and out so she doesn't get board with them. There are cribbing collars that don't require a halter to attach to. Good luck and let us know how is goes.

she was cut by wire then proud flesh grew over and it weighed alot and it was very big and she isn't suppose to not move at all ps she was cribbing before we got her

The cheapest way to go is to buy a cribbing collar that fits.

There is a reason they have been around for years. Get a collar on her tight enough to stop the cribbing and feed her low as the others have suggested with lots of grass hay.
