Ok so Arabi came in shaking last night thought he might have got a bit cold, so put a thicker rug on was eating fine, checked on him a bit later and had not eaten all his hay and just generally didn't look right, no classic colic symptoms to speak of was pooing but not eating as much, so got the vet out and he had an impaction she got some out tubed him starved him overnight did 2 droppings this morning still firm and quite dry.
So tubed again this morning his looking much brighter and his allowed a bit of grass, his temp is on the high end of normal heart rate normal, and she took bloods just to see if his got any inflammation.
So just wondered if anyone has any experiences or advice about it not experienced impaction colic before, I am just hoping the bloods are clear, she did say she has seen a fair few colics this week possibly down to sharp weather change from warm to cold, just praying it is just that his never had colic in the 13 years I have had him, feeling pretty crap about it tbh.
