Horse Overeats

what do I do if my horse eat a bunch of grain? Answer: Keep watch on him/her to be aware of signs of colic....biting at sides, restless, external heat of the body as in big time sweat with NO exercise, no manure. Usually nothing will happen except that they will feel uncomfortable. Have a large amount of safflower oil (gallon) on hand. If any signs of definite colic, start tubing the oil into the digestive system.....or if uncertain how to do this properly, call your Veterinarian, and KEEP him/her WALKING!!!!! If he/she is having bowl movements, and isn´t heating up or biting at sides, go to bed, knowing that they probably have only a stomach ache. Provide LOTS of fresh water & low protein local to help to keep the digestive tract active, and force the grain through the digestive system. Let me know how he/she is later!
