X is sick ..... he looked like he was colicing when I came home for lunch
today ....... I immediately gave him some Bute and called the vet ....
    Come to find out he's got some kind of infection - don't know where.  Dr 
Moore took a blood sample ...... when he took X's temperature it was 103.5 (a 
horses temp SHOULD be less than 101 Dr. Moore said).  Dr Moore gave X an 
injection of penicylin (sp) and told me to give him 25mg 2 times a day for a 
week.  I won't know anything more until the blood tests come back.
    I just about pulled a panic number when I though X was colicing -- it was 
a year ago all over again (been almost a year since "Baby" died ).  I 
saw all that flash before my eyes and I was truly in a panic.
    Anyway, that's all I know for now.  Dr Moore went ahead an oiled X, gave 
him some more Bute and some Banemine ..... I'm to give him some more Bute 
tonight.
    If it's not one thing it's another .
