I kept Black on the Strongid and it did seem to keep her colic to once a month. I later found out that ulcers can cause colic and that is probably what killed her. She would stress colic a lot, sometimes it was impact. You could not change her food, feeding times, pasture mates, any big change she would colic. Probiotics helped also. The strongid helps with the impact type of colic.Twisted Oaks Quarter Horseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06331790080181818434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8926013554523279624.post-61163744392457723602008-04-21T08:18:00.000-07:002008-04-21T08:18:00.000-07:00Thanks All, GHM, Mrs.Mom, Ranchette, BG, for the c...Thanks All, GHM, Mrs.Mom, Ranchette, BG, for the concern, her timing is impecable...LOL...I haven't fed even Misty this morning.

It was a year ago this weekend that I lost my guy to a ruptured colon that they couldn't do anything about. I attributed that to the weather and spring shots etc. It is good you caught this early so she could be helped.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8926013554523279624.post-56809612438524801602008-04-21T04:14:00.000-07:002008-04-21T04:14:00.000-07:00Thanks Pony girl and MIkael, I was able to sleep a...Thanks Pony girl and MIkael, I was able to sleep after she was awake and perky after the sedation wore off and she's seems back to her usual self this morning, head hanging over the fence wondering where the food is.Calliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704537697611988375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8926013554523279624.post-58994895601702805062008-04-20T23:12:00.000-07:002008-04-20T23:12:00.000-07:00Geez, the ugly C word is sure making the rounds.

Surely I will have to deal with it at some point during horse ownership. My vet just recommended probiotics for My Boy's gassy tummy, I'm going to start him on them this week and see if that helps. I hope you get to take your bath, it will relax you!!Pony Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464088874054923635noreply@blogger.com
