[QUOTE="mom_in_training, post: 114416, member: 2727"] Hi Susie, My son was hospitalized for the same thing the first week of Nov 2007. He had been going but apparently not enough and they did find via x-rays that he was compacted. They ended up doing the go lightly via NG Tube and thank god it finally cleared. He started vomiting and his stomach was so badly distended that I ended up taking him to the emergency room. They were talking about taking him into emergency surgery but thought to try the go lightly first. This is a very serious and evasive surgery that could very well create other health issues that we or anybody for that matter certainly do not need. He was in the hospital for five days due to the compaction. Keep going on the go lightly and it will clear. I can totally see how this can happen to a human. I have two horses and have seen many horses colic. After being treated by the vet (Oiled, Mineral) via tube through nostril does not mean necessarily that they are out of the woods. You might see that they pass a lil stool along with some oil but what you don't see is the compaction that they might still have way up there in their bowel track and next thing you know your calling the vet back. It can be fatal. This is not uncommon for some horses. [/QUOTE]
