[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 968411, member: 17956"] My sons rope horse is not feeling well. I noticed him laying down a little more than I like to see on Sunday. I immediately suspicioned colic. I listened to his gut, and it sounded normal to me. I gave him banamine and called the vet. He listened, and didn't think he was colicing. He looked fine Monday morning, and sluggish again Monday night------ more banamine. Same routine on Tuesday. I had the vet come out again today. No temp, drew blood that came back normal. He had me continue the banamine twice a day, and added penicillin to the routine for three more days. I dewormed him on Saturday before all this started. Same routine that I've used my whole life-------every other time I shoe I worm. I would think a virus would have already passed by now. His apatite is off, but not gone totally. He's passing manure that looks normal. Anybody got any thoughts on what it might be. My sons only 8, and we buried his starter horse a week and a half ago. The little fella has been through a lot lately. I'm in pretty deep on this horse financially. I bought him as a finished calf horse. I've always just built my own untill this one. I've had the horse for two years ago, and never a sick day. The horse is in his prime at 9 years old. [/QUOTE]
