Went out to feed this morning and found Alex acting odd. Somewhat colicky, but not quite. He’s never colicked before, so it’s hard to say if this is normal for him or not. Banamine about 8am, but showing no signs of kicking in yet.
I’m sure it’s just a gas colic - it was 99 degrees yesterday, and dropped to a low of 60 overnight - but the Banamine doesn’t seem to be doing the job quite yet. He pooped, so if it’s impaction, it’s much lower in the colon. He’s not kicking or biting at his abdomen, not sweating, not displaying many signs of distress even except that he prefers to lay down, and his eyes are quite dull.
The vet and I are in contact - his associate is out today and he’s swamped with calls and appointments, but he told me he’ll call me at noon and I know I can call before if I need to. Hoping it all resolves before then.
