Thanks for asking. 
Cascade Blackhawk "Bucky" is doing okay but still not okay. I don't think he has an impacted gut. There is no rolling, no looking back at the belly as if in pain, and he is not off his feed. Those are good signs.
He's eating, crapping, pretty sure he's peeing (though haven't actually seen him), drinking water, walks around fine, and gives me his normal chipper whinny when I come out to check on him. His gut is gurgling and he's farting methane. lol So that's all good.
But I can't figure it out. He is still has his flank/upper thigh muscles trembling/spasms, shifts side to side too often on his rear legs, and is laying down much more often than normal to relieve his rear legs.
So tonight I crushed up 4 Bute tablets (horse anti-inflammatories, max dose for his weight) in a delicious mix of shredded carrots, molasses and oil, mixed that in with his pellet feed, and he scarfed it right down. (My herd is mostly semi-wild so you have to get creative to treat them - especially the stallions.) Gave him another enema though I don't think it's necessary since he's crapping fine. But just in the event the muscle spasms are lingering from an 'almost' impacted gut.
Tomorrow I'll stick a thermometer up his butt just to be sure, though he doesn't give me any indication of a fever.
Any knowledge of large herbivores? I hope its not neurologic - he's only 15... 11th gen Leopard Appaloosa tracing to 1840 Nez Perce records... (look at those peacock spots! Great leopard genes!
)

The only selectively bred animal by any of your peoples.
When I feed in the middle of the night under a bright moon, they all look like they're wearing glow in the dark polka-dot pajamas.
Try being eaten by a deranged stallion. 
You learn how to stay in a (mostly) safe position and pay attention to their behavior. Ears back, scowl around the eyes, means pay attention!
And there is that attitude thing like dogs. Display fear and they sense it. Particularly stallions. Though I've learned the hard way, some days stallions are grumpy old men and aren't going to do anything you want them to. Skip to the next day when they aren't all pissy. Whereas mares and gelding are much more submissive.
Often after people hear of my being mauled by a stallion they typically ask "why do you still have horses - much less stallions?!"
I tell them "hell I've had women do waaay more mean things to me than that horse did, but I still like women." lol (which means women are a form of men's insanity.

A Man Just Needs Some....
Wasup Wasup Wasup TMSers?
Really think I will be selling the cobra soon. Turned down an offer of $22k earlier this week. 24 would have taken it. Already planning out my next project. Might be a Cheby.
