[QUOTE="chippie, post: 457004, member: 5644"] Ditto CALL YOUR VET!!! I have to say something about horses acting colicky and the owners automatically giving them Banamine. Get your vet to check your horse first. Banamine will mask the pain and you won't know if your horse is really getting better or worse. Case in point. A friend's horse was acting a little off. Her husband gave the horse Banamine. The horse seemed better. The following day while she was feeding he collapsed, had a seizure and died. They had the horse posted and the vet found that his cecum had ruptured. The poor old guy was so stoic and because of the banamine, he never rolled, sweated or showed signs of his pain and distress. They never noticed that had hadn't been drinking enough water. Her husband was too cheap to call the vet and he killed the horse because of his ignorance. Because the horse never rolled, they didn't think that he was colicing. Another thought, if she passed the glass, that may have been why she was at the sale. She may have been doped up to mask the pain. Get her checked ASAP and Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
