The trouble with giving Banamine or similar drugs before at least talking to the vet is that it can mask or change the reaction to pain, making it more difficult for the vet to gauge how serious the episode is. He may very well prescribe a medication over the phone, but I would wait until you have that first conversation.

In theory, I agree with that. Except, IME with colics the vet has always suggested giving Banamine, without coming out to diagnose the horse in person.
