after a great weekend at the festival, this morning i went up the yard and found freddie laying down, i thought at 1st hes just really tired because it was a busy weekend. but he then got up and started to scrape the floor and then kept getting up and down, rang the vet who came out and gave him an injection to relax the spazmodic colic... heres a couple of piccys of my poor baby.... me and freddie spent ages like that he just fell asleep on my legs which went dead and pins and needles!!!!! argh!!! hes feeling alot better now uncle dom (not really my uncle hes my vet but freddie loves him) came and see to him

I heard that it's best to keep them on their feet if they've got colic because if they lie down and roll they can twist their... intestines (I think) and it can be fatal. I've heard it lots of times.
I didn't have the best luck at a baby; I had colic and then a hernia and had to be operated on at a few months old all before I was 6 months old. I hope that Freddie gets better soon!

yeah hes alot better last nite he eat all his (small dinner) and was bright and passing poo!.
this morning he was bright as normal, eat hes breaky!... ate most of is hay and passed alot of poo, so geoff took him for a grass walk and got WET while i stayed dry and mucked out hehe!. and enjoyed a good groom and tucked back into his bed...
well ive been told if the horse wants to lie down but not roll its fine as they are in alot of pain they get tired quickly, so he was fine to lie down bless him.
i sent him all your loves and kisses yesterday, he thought it was his birthday bless him!.
