To briefly summarise, brought my horse in on New Years Eve to find him very unsettled and not usual self. Left with hay net and went back to yard an hour or so later to feed assuming he would have settled. He was worse! After a bit of observing and mulling things over called vet who gave some advice. Half hour later called her out as he was getting worse.... Colic.
Vet treated him and he seemed easier an hour later, sweating reduced. Much checking all evening and finally felt happy to leave him at 12.30, back at yard early doors to check, seemed better, not right, but not sweating and eating.
Well, today he is better than he was, but still not anywhere near right. Vet out again today, agrees he is much improved but not right. Had bloods taken to check nothing worrying, vet happy they are ok. He's on bute but heart rate, temperature and gut noises all ok.
So forum users, please can you send some healing vibes to my poor, poor boy. Got a horrid feeling I am going to have to miss my family holiday, supposed to be flying Wednesday, not sure I am going to be leaving him, but not sure I really want hubby and kids going without me either!!
