Need another visit and more drugs as these wear off. It will be a long night.
 
Hope all goes well overnight. My mare is prone to gassy colic if she gets too much wet grass. I have found happy tummy charcoal helps prevent it. fingers crossed for Robin.

Not good - lost 2 of mine to colic - sending millions and millions of vibes to your boy
 
Fingers crossed for you both. Colics horrible my mare had it twice in two weeks when I first bought her due to routine and feed change, so stressful.
Hope the lunging gets him trumping!!!
 
Well he decided he was hungry at 9.30 and started eating his bed. So gave him his (restricted)hay and watched. Vet had said to wait till 10pm but thought hay preferable to straw. He seems fine and was munching away. So I have left him be and will go early tomorrow. He has been on box rest and now back out in the day. On reduced grazing, but I had moved his little pen to fresh grass, it looks like it was still too much.

Oh goodness, he is giving you a lot of stress at the minute. Hope you're both OK. I have been following your other threads, mostly when I'm in work and can't log in to post. Glad to hear is is a bit brighter.
 
He has been fine overnight. Not eaten as much as I would have thought but pooed. So he is back out in field on bare small paddock with another 6 inches extra grass. Phew.
