Peanut butter



Hey Susan G, and the other nutrition gurus, I have a question.  I have an 
elderly mare I'm having difficulty keeping weight on and I've asked about her 
before.  A person I met tonight suggested adding peanut butter to her food to 
increase calories.  Isa is already at the maximum dose of Weight Builder the 
package says to feed, and gets probiotics and Red Blood Cell Builder in her 
high fat, low protein pellets.  She cannot have high protein due to other 
health problems and adamantly refuses to eat beet pulp.  She also hates corn 
oil in her food.  She's a VERY picky eater and I am already adding corn syrup 
or molasses to her food to get her to eat it with the Red Blood Cell stuff.  
Any idea whether peanut butter is good for her?  She will eat a small amount 
when offered, but I don't know if it's safe to give her a bunch.  I would be 
worried about it sticking to her teeth and rotting them, but hasn't many left 
anyway.
