Gassy colicky pony

[NooNoo59]

Just wondered if anyone has experienced colic symptoms like these. 6 year old Welsh section d good grass wet hay shavings bed wet chaff feed once a day. 3 times this year has come in stressed sweating bucking in the stable very unsettled. Vet came out the first time and gave him danilon and something to get stuff moving. 2nd and 3rd time on their advice just gave him danilon and it settled down. Not sure what else I can do to help the situation as it comes put of no where but obviously don't want it to escalate into something really serious. Any advice gratefully received

Sounds like the grazing is too rich I would restrict it, it's still been so mild so grass will grow I have held back putting my horses in the rested bit for that reason.

Also happened earlier in the year when on a mud patch with no grass!

Interesting noone else has had this problem! My feed on welsh section d forum on fb is full of similar scenario's!

Make sure he is drinking enough. In cold weather, warm his water.

Has he been scoped? Ulcers can sometimes cause this, so worth scoping if not already been done.

I have had a horse in hospital 3 times in 4 months with exactly the same problem.

I've had 2 mares with very similar symptoms, colic got more and more regular, cut back on different parts of their feed, grass, haylage, etc & scoped and it was ulcers.
