RE: [SPAM] [RC] Our First 100 - heidiI have a sort of technical question/problem/issue, whatever you wish to call it. This may be a bit long but I'm looking for some input. Todd, just a few thoughts here... One, a gas colic can happen to anybody, anytime. Did she eat anything different at the ride? (Most horses do!) You mention changing some other things--probios, calcium, etc.--any changes like that can lead to mild digestive upset simply by changing the gut flora a bit and causing some resultant gas. Two, may you have over-lyted for the mild conditions? That, too, can cause some gut discomfort. Three, have you had her teeth checked lately? Incomplete chewing can lead to colic, ranging from mild gas colic (see #1) to some pretty toxic hindgut problems in severe cases. Even if she isn't skinny or dropping feed, check her teeth. Four, another poster mentioned doing a fenbendazole purge. Not a bad idea.
