Hi there. Congrats on your new horse!
I would see how he settles in, allow him to drink, wet down any food he may get, and monitor the urination.
If he stretches out as if to urinate but then doesn't urinate, he may be acting colicky so I would ring your vet if this is the case.
What color is the urine he is passing?
Customer
He does stretch out and urinates but only a little bit come out. His urine is normal color
How long has he been home for?
Customer
I just got him home around 7:00 this evening. The barn owner did a night check at 9:30. He was eating and drank water but was still only urinating at little stream.
Has he passed manure?
Customer
He did in the trailer. When u left the barn he hadn’t but he was only in his stall for about 1 and 1/2 hour
Customer
Oops. When I left the barn.
Ok - it sounds like he is eating and drinking and passing manure. Is there anyone that will be able to check on him once more tonight?
If he is pawing, laying down and rolling (getting up without shaking off), looking at his belly - then I would ring your veterinarian.
Customer
They may check again tonight but not sure if they will. He was not showing any signs of colic. He was not laying down rolling or pawing. I’m hoping it was due to the long trailer ride. Hopefully giving him tonight to just chill he will be okay. I will call the vet in the AM to have them come out to check him out to be safe.
I think that is a good plan!
Did you have any additional questions for me?
Customer
No. Thank you for your help. Hopefully tomorrow morning he will be fine.
I am hopeful too.
Have a good night!

Good morning - how is your horse today?
Customer
Eating and drinking. He manures also. They are watching to see how he is urinating this morning. I called my vet. She said to keep and eye on him today and call her if it continues.
Perfect! Good to hear!
Customer
Thanks again for your help.
You’re very welcome.
