Make sure to take her temp and check her gums for color and listen for gut sounds. There is a variety of things going around - plus teh worry of colic is always an issue.
Hang in there - take care!!!

Well we made it through the night...Still not herself, but the laying down has stopped...She just got sick of me touching her....
Not calling for breakfast like norm, but standing...
Due to being still alittle bit wild, Vet says only rope her if we have to...And if she go's down keep up the what we're doing....
28 degrees out and have to feed now...Keep you up to date...........chatty

My perch did this about 2 weeks ago I soaked her hay and made her mash very soupy with lots of oil in it she would eat it that way. also banimine 2x a day. It took about 4 days and she started feeling better. The only thing I can think of that made her tummy upset was I had wormed her a day before and maybe this brand didn't settle well in her tummy. She is fine and dandy now.

When a horse seems "off" but not down and obviously sick it worries me MORE than when they are showing symptoms. I suggest getting a vet out - it may be more than colic. Better safe than sorry in these kinds of things.

Me too Sara,
I'm a call the vet girl...
My vets all know that I call first, THEN give banamine, just in case they hear symptoms warenting waiting on the banamine, or trailering in right away...
Unless there is a definate indication for banamine that the vet is aware of already, I call first, then give the dose in cooperation with him...

Yes definately call the vet. I had talked to my vet and she had gut sounds had pooped and such so vet recommended treatment just to ensure she didn't progress into colic from a tummy ache

Chatty if she is still not feeling well you need to call the vet back and see if they can come out and see her. This time of year is famous for gas colic the change in weather and such. But it is better to be safe rather than sorry.
