Horse Colic(2) after 25 min.of abdominal rubbing

[26dmari]

im pleased your horse is ok. my old horse died last year from colic. he was just laid in the field, no kicking or thrashing about like alot of people seem to expect. we managed to get him up but he twisted his gut an i put him down at 10 pm that evening. got a vid on here that explains all that happened

How does a horse get colic?

[HorseReport]

horses can't throw up so when there intestines get clogged they colic. if it isn't treated the horse can die. THey now have surgery and other techinques to help with horses that are highly prone to colic. It can also occur as sand colic and when the horse takes in to much food at one time. thats why slow eaters and easy keeper horses are generlly less prone to colic.

even if you get the surgery fo colic it dosent always work their long intestine is only attached in two places so if it gets raped up its not good

whats a gastro guard lmao i have horses and i dont own w/e one of them is i dont think..

[s3xych3rryn0ma]

If you do not have gastro guard and anti gas you should NOT own horses.

[12Ilovemyhorses12]

u dont hav to fukin own gastro guard to own a horse

i know loads of people who own more dan 1 horse n dont own gastro guard

[s3xych3rryn0ma]

No it's lucky. The horse saved itself. When a horse collics you get it up and walk it. No LAYING or ROLLING till the vet shows up. Try gastro guard if there is no accompining temp after another 20 mins pump full of Anit gas (the green stuff your vet will pump) treating colic is easy if you do it RIGHT! Otherwise when your horse survives colic your just lucky. Big ben use to colic EVERYDAY before he died but stayed alive for years.

hi does that relly work?

[chasingcowboydust]

Wow...thats amazing my horse would have been thrashing like crazy.

[DevilNightShade]

And you would know that how from a 2 minute video?

Just because it started off laying down in this video means nothing about what could have been going on before it was taken.

Man, you're lucky! When my yearling filly colic'd, she never stopped thrashing violently (twisted gut). Vet came, tranq'd her, we got her up & loaded, drove 1-1/2 hrs to Mich. State Univ. at midnight & arrived to her upside down & wedged in the trailer (from more thrashing because tranq cooled off). Surgery saved her. Now, when she gets a belly ache, I double-hit her with a gram each of Banamine & Bute. Seems to relax her before things get too out of hand. God bless my vet!!

My god, the vet didn't even show up?! What the hell!? I'd raise a FIT if the vet didn't show up if my horse coliced
