[QUOTE="chippie, post: 968529, member: 5644"] He may have had tapeworms and is feeling bad from the worms dying. I would keep things simple. Maybe cut the banamine back to once daily. Are you giving him Banamine paste? I know that many people will give Banamine as soon as they think that a horse is colicing. Doing that is not always a good thing. It will mask the pain, and if the horse has an impaction, by the time you realize what is going on, it may be too late. I have a friend whose husband is unbelievably cheap. Several years ago, one of their horses was acting off. It wasn't laying down or rolling so he decided that it was not colicing and gave it Banamine. Well the horse was colicing andit had an impaction. While they were waiting for it to feel better, it's gut ruptured and died a horrific death. They lost a second one this past summer due to a gas colic. Wouldn't take it to the vet to get it tubed with oil, he gave it banamine instead. So if one of my horses is showing signs of colic or gastric distress, I haul it to the vet. [/QUOTE]
