We lost 2 horses to it, both we found a too late and by the time the vet got to our home (which is nearly an hours drive from town) their insides were all twisted up and leaking...so we had to put them down. It was very sad. I hope Double Stuff gets better quickly! It's good you caught him early. <br /><br />Squeaks.Mackenzie A.

If other more important things are going on then it just isn't worth stressing over. You can catch up later or try again next year. Your horse and grandpa are a lot more important.<br /><br />I had never heard of using milk of magnesia for colic before. That's interesting. <br /><br />One thing I wanted to tell you about is Benamine. It is a pain reliever/anti-inflammatory for horses. If you give it to them when you suspect colic it can get rid of a lot of the discomfort (which can help prevent the dangerous rolling and twisting) and helps with their anxiety. In certain cases, Benamine has even shown to counter the toxins released into the bloodstream from the intestines during an episode of colic. Like most drugs there are possible side effect such as ulcers, but I've never known it to cause a problem when used for colic. Keep in mind though it doesn't cure the colic, it just helps with pain and anxiety. It's handy to keep a tube around. Please keep us updated. I hope he's okay.Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2350033007843445950.post-59175468905650136792010-11-04T16:49:34.880-06:002010-11-04T16:49:34.880-06:00Aw, poor Double Stuff :( But I wish I knew how to ...Aw, poor Double Stuff :( But I wish I knew how to deal with colic! :D<br /><br />Good luck writing!
