I sure hope he's doing ok.
We have one colic-prone horse (not Cushings-seems to have started when he
almost bled to death one evening 2 years ago after lacerating an artery on
his front leg - emergency surgery with ICU , blood transfusions , big time
antibiotics, etc. -had major bowel upset during his recovery)
The things we have found that helped the most (knock on wood as we wait for
the weather to change):
24/7 access to free choice grass hay - keeps things moving inside-and he's
never "hungry" which upsets any horses stomach - they are grazers.
Cut way back on alfalfa (gets maybe 1-2 lb/day as a treat)
Put him (and everyone) on "ABC Plus" supplement (supposed to lessen colic)
Give him a dose of "Pro-Bi" from ABC anytime he looks "off"- seems to nip it
in the bud...has peppermint in it to lessen bowel spasms , as well as
probiotic stuff to encourage the good bacteria and suppress the bad.
(We had one actual colic that we "treated" with the Pro-bi alone (was just
getting ready to call the Vet when he turned around).
He has had way fewer "episodes" since we changed our routine to the above
about 6 months ago (used to be one every 2 weeks or so ...none now for
several months ).
Hope this helps for the future.
