should I just keep her up and walking whilst James calls the vet if she starts again?
james just got back and i am going to go listen to her stomach and see how she is, she is still standing. I'll post when i get back here.
Yes. Do your utmost to keep her from rolling. Put a lead rope on and walk, if she starts to go down, this sounds bad, but it's for the best, whip her, kick her if you "have" too to keep her on her feet. If you can't keep her on her feet, and she does go down, kneel on her neck, hard. Rolling is the most dangerous thing when colicing. They can twist a gut, and that results in death, slow painful death unless you just get the vet out to put them down. They can do surgeries to untwist, but they are usually NOT successful and very expensive.

Yep. Walking only enough to keep her from dropping and rolling. It isn't an exercise thing, but something to keep her from hurting herself. Walking can also help get bowel moving in a gentler way, if there is a trapped gas bubble or a contispation going on. If she'd rather stand pretty quiet till the vet gets there, that's ok too. If she wants to lay quiet till he gets there, that's OK, just no rolling.
Rolling is a reaction to a painful gas or bowel blockage, it's just too violent, and can actually twist their gut around itself and they will die from that.
