Sick Horse

[RWeb]

I had 4 horses in my field 3 cobs and 1 morgan they have all had more hay to eat than they could manage and a good bucket of feed a day. The 3 cobs look great but the morgan became to loose weight 3 weeks ago so i bought him a new rug and upped his feed to 2 buckets a day i just thought that that would do it i also gave him another wormer in case it was worms but he still lost weight on thursday this week he became tangled into his rug and a vet was called the vet noticed that he had a blood discharge from his privates.

He later died of colic this friday morning he had a few episodes of colic over the last few years and muscle damage for this last year on his rear quarters since he got himself caught up in his stable, the vet has taken a lot of blood tests but i feel awful as people thought that he must have been starved but he always ate more than the two mares put together please could you let me know if you know what is was or has anyone had this problem

Didn't you get the vet up before the rug incident? Didn't you ring a feed line for feeding advice or ask an experienced friend for guidance? Didn't you see that he had a bloody discharge from his penis? He probably became tangled in his rug from thrashing around with another bout of colic. Poor horse. I mean, if he's had episodes of colic over the last few years didn't you think to investigate? Sorry but this sounds so completely unreal that I'm guessing you're trolling. If you're not, then I suggest this is a very sad wake up call for you to get yourself some basic education on horse care.
