walkinlove, glad things sound like they'll be okay. I've got to say this though, especially if you're the morning feed person, you need to learn the basics of emergency medical care. That you weren't familiar with the warning signs of laminitis and knowledgeable enough to know that's a far more likely result of overeating grain, means you aren't really familiar enough with those basics yet. Do you know what to do if you walk into the barn one morning and a horse has cut his leg and blood is pulsing out? Of if there is yellow discharge coming out of their nose? What if one is struggling breathing, do you know what that likely means? That's all basic stuff you should know, along with all the signs for colic. You being the morning feeder means you're eyes are the first on them for the day. It need to be made clear with the BO who has the ability to call in a vet for an emergency (and BTW, if my horse were loose and got into the kind of quantity of grain, I'd be pissed if the vet WASN'T called!). Small facility or large one, clear rules regarding situations like this one, which happens all the time, need to be established for everyone's safety.
