Got to field and she flat out , she didn't/couldn't get up.

Tummy was making noises and she was glassy eyed, Rachel struggled to get her head up.

Called for back up but with R pulling and me kicking and shoving we got her up (she fell first time)

Vet came within 25 mins of call, and although Harmony was brighter, she still had gassy sounds in her tummy. Was given whatever it is vets give and advised to keep her in for a couple of hours, but less if she got stressed.
(which she did as Herbie was an absolute prick today and made her flap about ..)

She is very bright now and eating, looking ok, just got to keep an eye on her.

hated it when she was down

vet said she was very impressed with her, handled beautifully and looked in great condition (so much better than the fat yearlings I do see she said).

Hugs for Harmony (and Rachel who was very upset and panicky as you would expect)
 
Thanks

Never had colic before (experience of it I mean).
Vet said spasmodic colic, possibly brought on due to the heavy rain/wet grass ?

While there she had a look at her foot/leg (which she was lame on for a couple of weeks and then was fine but yesterday and today slightly lame again)
Found nothing obvious (which we couldn't either, may have been abscess and we poulticed for a week), no heat, or pulse or anything, so said to see how she goes as she may have twinged it during a mad gallop (which H and m proceeded to do when we started to leave, they really have the wind up them at the mo)

Anyway, just going to check Harmony now
