[QUOTE="Alan, post: 968536, member: 378"] First off I'll say up front that I think chippie and I only have a slight difference in thought on this, I too thought about worms causing and impaction, but you worm on a regular basis, do you rotate wormers? Sounds like the horse had a bit of reaction, but one thing I don't understand is why continued banimine and pen? I'll get back to that question. To answer your question when we have a horse colic it's alway banimine paste. But other than laying down more often than you thought was normal the horse was not showing signs of colic. You listened for gastrol sounds, they were present, the horse is having normal bowel movements, colicing horses also will roll a lot. So I question wether your horse was colicing, he may had a slight, short term colic but no real signs of colic. So when one of ours colics it's a dose of banimine and walking and walking to hopefully get some bowels movement, when I tire of walking it's in the trailer, 95% of the time the horse poops getting in the trailer or on a short ride. My confusion is the continued banimine and pen. No signs of colic, no temp so no fever, blood panel was normal so normal what is the vet treating? Not saying you're doing this, but I don't know how many times I ran into someone who tells me the horse just ain't right. When asked what the horse is doing and how they are treating it, it turns out they are trying everything anyone tells them to do. Two days on this drug, switched to this drug, trying this feed, switched to this feed. All they are doing is screwing up the horse more. Again just my :2cents: [/QUOTE]
