I've just come home from the yard where one of the horses has gone down with colic. Vet came out, usual exam given, but the vet said two things which are worrying me. Firstly, it's spasmodic colic, mare is very gassy. The poo in her bowel that the vet managed to retrieve was very loose, yet the dropping she had passed was a nugget.Vet noticed that when he did the exam, her bowel drops down like a U bend after about 4/5 feet, instead of being straight so that he can reach his arm right in.Has anyone ever heard of this? Quite concerned as she's the sweetest mare and the man who owns her doesn't deserve any more bad news.
