Poor little guy......I noticed tonight that when he was trying to pee only a small trickle was coming out rather than the normal flood, 10 mins later same again.
Subjected him to the search for the bean and found nothing so called my Vet, Vardi obviously realizing vet was on his way decided to make a proper job of it went down rolled and sweated up a treat.
Vet arrived as I was walking him around in the pouring rain gave him a through internal exam and an injection saying mild dose of colic.
He is in a stable tonight with flax on the floor only (no straw) and no food till tomorrow.
Happy to report we have now had an almost normal pee (yay!) and are looking totally grumpy at everyone else getting hay and having to go without.
Have spent a very uncomfortable 6 hours sitting on mounting block in sir's stable especially as all he wanted was his backside scratched.
Decided he was feeling ok when he kept taking my book out of my hands and chucking it out of the stable in a kind of "Oi I am ill you know and demand 100% attention"
Very tired but not sleepy in a strange way! Jan has strict instructions to call me tonight if anything goes awry.
Fingers crossed the phone will not ring.
Horrible to have him not well but strangely really nice to spend so long just being with him doing nothing......note to self do it more often!
