Clinical Signs: 10/7 - mare acted colicky and was evaluated and treated. 10/8 - vet rechecked horse but noted muscle fasciculation on rump, shoulders, lips. Horse would cross over feet when walking, was reluctant to move and then would have a wide base stance to steady herself. She almost would fall over sideways when backing up. After 4 days of aggressive treatment her symptoms slowly resolved.
