More bl00dy trouble

Ooooo huge sigh of relief - glad Paddy is ok. Was gettin worried back there. Not sure about the less grass bit as an empty stomach is worse but the vet must know what they are talikn' about.

Oh, he gets plenty of hay, just limited grass

Me too these days

I take it colic in horses isn't the same as colic in kids? A dose of Calpol usually sorts em out. I guess you'd need rather a lot of calpol for a horse!

Nope - can kill them - twist their guts and either operate or your too late.

A little update,

The colic apparently wasn't too bad, but was taken into the horsepital because his pulse was so high.

he turned out to have spasmodic colic, whic is (I'm told) a mild form, and not usually life threatening, but you don't know that at the time, and you could tell he was in pain.

Anyway, all seems good now.

It seems to me that horses are very fragile creatures, and if it wasn't for mans intervention and need for them, they would have become extinct by now.

Have to dissagree there - tis mans intervention that will be the death of um. Had horses since I was a kid. We didnt jab um every year, rug um up, stable um in the winter, worm um, have the dentist every 6 months or shoe um. They was fine back then. Too much fine breeding an spoiling now adays if you ask me.
