Hi,

Don't be happy with a skinny horse!<BG>  Instead of Fatpak, try regular
corn oil (buy it in small bottles, keep it in the frig so it stays
really fresh).  Fatpak is a saturated fat, which *may* have something to
do with the numerous reports of pulse-hanging.  Corn oil is primarily
unsaturated, worth a shot to get some extra calories into your guy. 
Also, wouldn't hurt to give probios a try.
