Sign... rolling out by the water bucket again, like she did last time right after she took a drink. I called to her from the porch and she just lay there flat. Weird place for her to do that. So I go out... get her up, she wants to roll again... Dang it, called ecurbh to grab her halter.
We stood there with her in the yard, and walked her around a bit trying to figure out if there were really symptoms, walked her, brushed her tail, picked her feet, all the things that usually make her fart ;~)
Trotted her a little and she started farting. Pooped. A couple times... hm well, things were looking up! But still felt uneasy, she kept pawing when I'd stop her, still wanted to roll, wanted to paw the ground, looking at her belly.
Called the vet. Vet is out of town at a conference until MONDAY. Damn. I bet the other backup vet is at the same conference. I didn't call, but he's very active in the Veterinary boards, I'd just guess if there's a conference, he's at it. I left a message for the vet's wife to call me but she didn't right away, and hasn't yet.
I made an executive decision to give her Banamine tube. Dosed her at 800 pounds. We walked her around some more and she has pooped more. They're good looking piles. Not hard, not loose. Ecurbh sat around awhile trying to figure out if he could leave me alone and go to work. We taped off a small corner of the paddock for her and turned her loose and looked at her. She hasn't tried to roll again so I felt safe to come in the house. As I typed this she did lay down and I ran out there, but no rolling. Not feeling good, but not rolling. I eventually got her up and walked her though.
Now I've talked to the vet's wife, filled her in, she's going to call Dr. Mike and see if he is in town just in case, but I think I'm in wait and see mode.
