Well hello forum family. My mare, Polly, is colicking once again. I do not know what could be causing it. She is overweight which may have something to do with it and she doesn't drink much water. I brought her in and she was eating her grain kind of slow but was eating her hay just fine. She seemed to have a normal amount of manure in her stall this morning and this afternoon when I got home from school. She was laying down when I last checked her and was laying down but wasn't rolling or thrashing she got up and ate some more hay that fell into her stall and peed while I was talking to the vet. She told me to call her in about an hour. However there is one thing I'm worried about. I tested out some compressed ground up corn cobs where her and my gelding pee the most but I left them dry. They were nibbling on them so removed them. My gelding, Titan, seemed to have eaten more than my mare, Polly. I imagine she the shavings would have expanded a long time ago right? any ideas any one? I'm going out to check on her soon and call the vet again.
Dan.
