My mare is not eating her evening hay. She will go to her hay take a nibble and then walk off... she keeps walking around her corral. She isnt breathing hard. Isnt sweaty, Isnt kicking at her sides or looking at her belly.
just not eating and pacing. She acted like she was in heat last couple of days. lifting her tail etc.
thanks,
leslie

Have you taken her temp.. she might have a low grade virus? snotty nose? She could be cramping from being in heat, but my mares will still eat.. Are there any poop piles in her stall? Is she drinking? When did she clean up her last meal.? Could she be having a mild choke?
On the first day God created horses, on the second day he painted them with spots.

Thanks Ann
Shes back to normal this morning. I think maybe it was gas. she was passing it alot last night when I was feeding.
seems like things always happen on the weekend when the vets office are closed.
Happy Holidays----leslie

Hello Leslie,
In our article Diseases of Horses » Colic, Diarrhea, GI Tract » Colic in Horses » First Aid for Colic there is a subtopic entitled Is this colic or perhaps something else? that will give you some ideas of what to look for to tell a mild colic from similar problems.
