Horse, not me 
Horse was very bloated last night. At first I thought he had suddenly gained more weight, but that's not likely overnight. His stable was also very wet, but that could be the rain coming in through the door. He was very stroppy and did not want to be ridden at all, and in the end I gave up as he was throwing his head and stomping his feet all over. He wasn't lame, at least he didn't look to be, and not on the leg he has/had OCD in.
He's currently on a small scoop of alfa a, NAF superflex, and glucosamine. And as much haylege as he can eat. He's been kept in since Thursday as there was a burst pipe which has flooded the field, let alone the mud the torrential rain has caused.
Is this common? Anything that can be done to cure?
