Doc had a bellyache...
Doc is feeling much better today after colicking out of the blue yesterday. I found him down and grumbling about it at about four in the afternoon. Mike brought Banamine and he was feeling better within a few minutes of getting the shot. Today I dosed him with Probios, a probiotic powder. Gas colic can be caused by toxins realeased by the death of good bacteria in the caecum. It can have many different causes. Anyway, the Probios helps redress that balance. Also I bought the boys a salt block which they went to town on. Hopefully that will keep them drinking. So I told Doc I have now officially rescued him from death's door THREE times...
