So, instead of getting a rest from work, I spent the holiday trying to get her bowel moving. It's a lot of hard work. However, since I started giving her a mix of grain, bran, and psyllium every once in a while, she hasn't had any incidents.Nuzzling Muzzleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649710635013663900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714027946249307604.post-88923514834571457542009-11-09T23:11:17.690-06:002009-11-09T23:11:17.690-06:00Yikes, that sounds awfully nerve-wracking.

Poco and Scorch seem to be getting on well, too. I checked Scorch out just to make sure he didn't injure himself on anything or Poco didn't beat him up too bad. There's not a mark on him. <br /><br />Poco, on the other hand, is SNOT-TY! Even Jaz is not as submissive as Scorch. Poco really thinks he's macho stuff. I'm sure I'll have my hands full. But, that's how it is with him and me sometimes — a battle of wills.Leah Fryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18158981037468411293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714027946249307604.post-58094759768534367952009-11-09T14:24:46.049-06:002009-11-09T14:24:46.049-06:00Oh wow - poor Jazz and poor you!

Since horses can't burp up the gas, the bumping around in the trailer helps them expel the gas southward. <br /><br />This doesn't do a thing for any other kind of colic, of course, but it's an idea for you if you have to transport him anyhow.<br /><br />Of course, maybe he just wanted some of those waffles...?AareneXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17569818745110332355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714027946249307604.post-79724663489520963572009-11-09T08:23:05.576-06:002009-11-09T08:23:05.576-06:00Man that just sucks.

We do heated buckets - she's one of those that likes warm water - and she also gets table salt (uniodized) added to her feed 2x a day - she's on 1/2 Tbsp. per dose but can go as high as 1 Tbsp.
