Was thinking of posting but i didn't want to jinx him!

Thank you everyone for your kind words.

I spent a freezing night in the lorry

Was all very scary. Never seen Finnus that bad, when i arived at the yard he was wedged upside down in the corner of his stable.

We struggled to get him to stand up for long enough for the vet to sedate him. He just kept throwing himself down, not caring whether we where in the way and laying with his legs in the air.

Finally got a little sedation in and trotted him straight in to the arena, where he threw himself down again and then sat like a dog. Vet gave him more sedation and managed to examine him.

She was convinced it was surgical, because of the state he was in. Gave him a mild pain killer and we agreed to review him in 1 hr. If he went down again we would take him to Newbury straight away.

Anyway, he stood stock still for 45 mins then decided he fancied some snacks and started nibbling around the edge of the school! Vet amazed that he recovered so quickly!

Went to BB's to see doggy and got myself fed

Went back to check him at 8pm, he was very quiet and no poos

Vet came back out at 10.30pm as by then he had only managed to one pile of hard droppings (since 4pm) and was shaking violently, despite being loaded in rugs. He also drank 5 drinker fulls of water and one bucket full

in one go.

Vet had a really good feel around and couldn't find anything, so agreed prob still just spasmodic colic. Gave him more pain killer and corticosteroid, for shock.

I left him with light on so i could keep and eye in him form luton in the lorry

. Got up at 1.30am and he had done another poo. So gave him a handful of hay and switched all lights off for him to sleep.

Got up at 6.30am and he looked brighter, so gave him some fibre cubes and coligone and hay, which he ate and picked at hay. Put him on the walker and back to bed.

He wasn't really interested in hay when i left and wasn't pulling faces....not usually a good sign. Have given him some bute this morning and will go back to see him at lunch.

Am exhausted.

Phew! What a night for you both.

Fingers crossed that although he's feeling a bit battered and sore he's well on the way to his normal self.
 
Poor Max, I was worrying about him (and Sharon!) all night - and poor you sleeping in the lorry in the freezing cold!

Glad he's looking ok.......as we said, he's male, doing it for attention, loves the fuss

Either that or he's p*ssed off that Twiglet's cost me a fortune in vets bills the past couple of weeks and doesn't want to be outdone?
 
Sorry, I missed the post last night... but probably better I did as you don't need my imput as I am a bit doom and gloom with colic at the moment
