Colic Case - One Week Later

One week after our big Quarterhorse Charlie coliced, he seems to be doing great. His manure is much less water like and he is back to dropping big piles. I have had him on Sand Clear for six days now, and will continue until his manure is completely normal. The Vet advised me that I could pretty much keep him on sand clear year round, but would want to look at changes in his manure and his body condition.

Funny thing is that when he put him back into the corral with the other geldings, one of the geldings kept pushing him with his nose as if saying "keep moving, don't lay down". The picture above is Charlie several days after getting through this bout of colic and laying down for a rest.
