I tried to go off by myself as much as I could ;~)

But it was real interesting from a horse-owner perspective. I’ve certainly had stomach cramps before, even gas pain, but nothing like this. It’s like the vet has said when he was out, there’s probably lots of mild colics that we don’t recognize because the symptoms are too vague, the horse just isn’t feeling ~great~.

When it is bad, the symptoms can still not make a lot of sense. But now I know exactly why they want to get up and lay down, I know exactly why they want to roll, and I know why they break into a sweat, and why walking around is good, but that they need to be given some choice because sometimes doing that hurts so bad it makes their head swimmy.

I had some Pepto... was thinking maybe I really needed Banamine ;~)

Good morning all :~)

Some Gas-X or Beano might've helped too. I've used the Beano before, but only before I ate something I knew was going to give me gas, so I don't know if it'd work afterwards or not. Might be worth a try with the Gas-X though.

Yikes Hair, I’m glad that you’re feeling better, but the next time that happens, take your self to the ER. Sounds like gall bladder issues. Was it under your rib cage, or lower down?
