Tucking Up His Back.

[Forget_Me_Not]

What would you think of a horse that came in from rich grazing with his spine up? This horse was dozy and laid back like normal, ate a little *doesn't tend to eat much when brought in* Peed a normal amount, Not uncomfortable? Could of he just pigged out causing his tummy to tighten and tuck up?

That sounds odd......Was he moving OK? No signs of pain or lameness??
Do you know if he is normal now....

No lamness, no pain signs, Left him snozing and nibbling like normal.

If his tummy was tucked up it could have been more of a digestive thing??? Like you say maybe the rich grass caused this.

If my boy has very mild colic he tucks up and his quarters look odd- high and rounded and hard. The vet said that if horses have mild adbominal pain they often hold theirselves oddly.
I used to think he was tying up, but blood tests said not.

was he tryying to take the weight off his front feet and leaning back on to his hind quarters hence hunched. could be laminitus starting..

Would be interesting to hear an update on this - I think it was prob colic/GI discomfort but would like to know how it turns out...
