everyones saying to walk the horse around. haha. you dont actually need to... it doesnt do anything to help the colic. pretty much you just walk them if they try to roll.. coz rolling ends up with a twisted gut blah blah blah.
@Supatsu Anything but take a video the horse laying there in pain. You need to get them up walk them, give IV injection of Banamine, put them in a trailer and drive to get them to loosen up. Petting it on the head with a camera in its face doesnt do any good.
god every one she called the vet and walked the horse around after she took this god you guys piss me off acting all "o my god the horse is going to die right now" the horse was fine
@barrythepie I agree, i couldn't of recorded my horse knowing he could of died. When my horse had colic, i walked him round then trotted him and he recovered
you should have been calling the vet instead of getting the video camera out. should have had her up and walking around... read a previous post that it is better for them to lay down. i have never heard that. and someone else said the horse "could have started thrasing around... look at the ground that horse had already been out there for awhile, probably while she was getting her camera, the horse is covered in dirt and the ground is so tore up from it rolling and kicking around.
Awhh, poor thing. I'm so glad she is alright! Yes, you should have walked her, but i saw in one of your comments you walked her until the vet came, very good. So glad she's okay!
We just walked out today to find a dead yearling. he had colic, the vet would not come out and see him "until its been 3 days" and gave us bute to give him. he seemed to be getting better yesterday he was walking around eating, pooping etc. People, if you have a colicky horse, make sure you get a vet out ASAP to see it. Better safe than sorry. And refuse to take "ill be out when its been 3 days" as a good answer.
If a horse has colic you should always make sure the the horse is up and moving, other wise it will get stiff and the colic could turn worse!!! just a couple tips!
A rule to keep in mind when speaking of colic: The horse must NEVER EVER just lie down. It has to walk around, even though it is very painful. My horse had colic a few times long ago and I really had to push the limit to make her walk around until the vet came.
@KisaKittyLove 'Colic' is a term for abdominal pain. Horses can suffer gaseous, impaction or surgical (twisted gut) colic. The severity, type and time until treatment is vital due to the considerable length of intestines in a horse. Peristalsis is the involuntary movement performed by mammalian intestines to produce faeces, which colic impedes. Discomfort, sweating, biting or kicking at sides, prolonged rolling and agressiveness are common symptoms of colic.
wow you should have had her up and walking! did your vet not tell you to do that? she could have started rolling and twisted her gut! you are so lucky she lived.
you can let them lie down, so long as they dont roll. my horse had colic 4 times in the 4 years i had him, and once he would get better then get it back again 1hr later, and the vet said it was fine to let him lie down, coz they just get streesed
@baileyhorse1 That's actually an old wives tale that rolling causes twisted gut, chances are if they are rolling, the gut is already twisted. walking them may help with an upset stomach and keep their minds off of the pain, but it wont do anything to prevent a twisted gut.
Oh dear the contreversial topic of equine colic...dependant on the type of colic it can be acceptable to leave then laid down if calm and not thrashing ie certain impaction colics as if you were to get them up and walk them they can twist their guts just like they can if thrashing...However I cannot possibly comment on this particular case as I do not know either animal nor owner.
No matter what kind of Colic it is you need to get them on their feet as soon as possible. You're not a vet,how would you know how bad it was until a vet showed up? I'm not saying you're a bad owner,just not the sharpest knife in the drawer :/
haha not the sharpest knife in the drawer hehe that made me giggle lol and i agree the owner should have had the horse up straight away and walking =)
@DORIANoFILMS Sand colic is realy bad :( glade this horse did not have it, my horse Tank had it...it all happened to fast...then his insdies twisted..and he passed on the table :( it was heart breacking...and same for any horse that has to go threw this
You should have gotten her up and made her walk. I had a mare that happened to colic on me and the vet told me while I was waiting for him to keep her moving and DON'T let her lay down. If the horse is colicky and goes down you might not be able to get them back up.
its alright to have them lie down as long as they dont roll over ...cause you need to save their energy incase you do have to walk them for a couple hours if it gets worse
My horse coliced this evening, unless you'd already walked her around and was now letting her lie down, she should be up on her feet walking around. Just a tip.
one thing you should have done was walk him around a bit until the vet came unless you already did and now you let him lie down, oh and one question is he ok now? or dead......
WOW ... that is one bad case , with such a swollen tummy ... do not listen to idiots if the vet is on its way , it is best to ,leave the horse alone , if you try to get it up the horse can start throwing himself on the ground and burst its insides , bet to leave them alone and wait for vet or if they are agitated some banamine always help them to relax and once again not to rapture the insides
This is just me, but shouldnt they have that horse up and moving around? My mare colic a couple weeks ago and thats what we did until we gave her banamine and she was just fine.
the thing about walking them around when they have colic is an old myth, the vet has told me to let them lie down because if you walk them they will either get exhausted and fall (injuring themselves) or they will get really distressed and slam themselves into the ground or against trees :( wait for the vet to do his/her job!
well thats different than 3 vets told me the night my mare coliced. We were able to get her coming out of by walking her. Plus a vet might not always be able to be there. Plus if you get them walking it will move what ever is clogging them up through a little quicker. I think it is more difference of professional opinions than it is a myth.
then your vet must have gotten his/ her qualification out a lucky bag! never ever let a horse lay down and walking a myth thats the biggest load of rubbish ive ever heard letting a horse lay down puts pressure on its side and it cannot cope with htis amount of pressure and then the blood cannot move throught that side of the body to the legs look it up and so should your vet! limited supply of blood will most likey result in a horse being pput down
I'm very sorry for your horse, with my horse I was very lucky even she colic again in 2008 and the vet want to put her down, (I refuse) she is alive today.
Ouch. That horse was in rough shape. EquiPride and EquiLix would have helped. It helps Eliminate ALL colicing and Ulcers. Check out Our videos on YouTube. EquiPride and EquiLix Serious Supplement for Peak Performance.
Rapid shifts in weather can lead to changes in pasture composition, making them less or more digestible/fermentable and perhaps leading to increased gas production. This can be a cause of gas/spasmodic colic. Also, seasonal variation has been investigated for cases of anterior enteritis, and while there was no statistically definitive conclusion, there was a trend for horses to develop enteritis in the spring summer.
Similarly, we also see more impaction type colics in the winter when horses dont drink as much and the pasture/forage quality is not as good. (you fucking idiot)
Yes, I did walk her this short clip it's when I found her laying next to her friend I did work on her for about 25 min. till the Vet arrival, the other horse its just laying next to her.
I remember seeing a video of a surgery of a vet pulling out the horses intestine, making a small cut to it, and then draining all the fecal matter out of the horse.
the horse is watching it they do it in the wild so that they protect it from preditors and also warns the other horses to be careful around the horse they will only do this if they have a strong bond with the injured/ ill horse my instructor explained when we saw one of the stable horses sparky standing over one of the others who was ill that was the only reason we knew something was wrong
So glad she was okay!! I read that it is better to walk them but if they are too tired (exhaustion can worsen situation) then it's ok for them to lay down, if they start rolling get em up quick! as it's the rolling that does the damage. This horse is just laying so it's ok. As her recovery demonstrates.
My trainer whenever a horse collics always says keep them walking and dont let them ROLL. There gut cant twist laying down they have to roll. It's best for them to walk but laying there can't do harm.
OK PPL SOMETIMES THEY CANT STAND UP TRYING TO IS GOOD IF THEY DONT LEAVE EM AND stop bugging them if u think they can stand get a broom something to make her stand
Those of you who are saying to never let them lie down... the lying down doesn't hurt them, it's the thrashing and rolling that does damage. If the horse isn't distressed, let them lie there.
the vet was on phone to use while he was coming [like while he was in car and that and he told us to try are hardest t get her up then lung her around the field. Most colic can just be trapped wind and it does something to the stomach and kills them.
SO we did get he up taking half a hour then lunged her in a trot and canter. Thats when the vet came gave her some injections and tables and she fine now. i love you Casca
But on teh other hand my horse vicky died of colic
Sometimes you gotta let 'em lay down....& sometimes they die no matter what you do. God bless our Vets who come in the dead of night when we need them.
Not always & sometimes there's no way from keeping them from going down.A twist will act different from a blockage & with a stress colick, it won't matter. If it's a burst ulcer, then you've probably got infection already in their cavity. Been there, unfortunately which is why I can speak from experience.
the horse may not want to get up though so letting her lay there is okay as long as she makes sure it doesn't roll which she kind of was by being there beside her and then going over and by her stomach.... The horse didn't look like she wanted to move at all =(
well actually.. when a horse colics you are sapose to walk it.. yes.. but could you imagine how tired that horse must be.. you are sapose to let it lie down for short breaks... and then get it back up. sometimes horses are so tired and the colic is so bad that you cannot get them up.. which could have been the case here.. don't badmouth someone if you dont know the whole story!
Stupid idiots! The horse should NOT lie down if the got Colic! Thats the badest thing you can do! You must walk whid the horse unthill the Vet is comeing!
But what about colic? Should you walk the horse until the veterinarian arrives? Should you put it into a corral and use a whip to keep it at a trot? What if it wants to lie down and roll? Should that be permitted (can't horses twist their gut if they roll?), or should the horse be kept on its feet?
The universal remedy in years gone by was that the horse should be walked until the pain went away. There have been countless incidents where horse owners have walked and walked and walked. Then, they walked some more, until both they and the afflicted horse were ready to drop from exhaustion. Yet, the horse still suffered from colic.
There can be many reasons for the pain and, until one knows the cause, it is difficult to decide what approach to take until the veterinarian arrives. (See the cover story on colic in the August 1999 issue of The Horse.)
hiya my horse got colic 5 days ago not nice... the vets now say rug them up let them lie down and keep them warm... dus my heading when they say tht u can wlk it off... but i dnt think ppl think tht ... eniway no point me saying wt everybodi else has sed lol... xxoh by the way my horse is fine now thak god i thort i was loosing him xxx
Kate, Colic again on Nov.18, 2008 the nightmare come to me again and this time Kate turns for the worst, the mesenteric has twisted impacting her bowel with a enormous blockage.
Now,the Vets. suggested after 3 rectal examination that the impact is keeping enlarged and there is not hope for Kate. She has to be put down!! . I decide not until I have no other choice, I will try every thing on her.
(I have done many surgery and I have come across with complication similar and I know that there is a way to corrected without opening the bellyif its not a twisted bowel by a sand block)Kate had a total of 4,000 cc of fluid administered for the next two days.
Her ups and down continues for the next 6 to 8 days. I stand by her for then next 10 days 24 hrs daily camping in my van, assisting in some case as her pain comes every 15 to 20 minutes during the chilly night helping her with Benamine, constant palpations to her abdomen implying continuously low wave impact with the palm of my hand so the bowels keep continually moving until she quicks gets up and pass some stools.
Are you stupid?When a horse get's colic the first thing you do is call a vet and quickly try to get your horse up and keep it walking.If you let it lay there is will get it's stomach twisted and that proably means your horse's life is going to end there unless you pay thousands of dollars for surgery.Beleive been there and done that with colic.
u dont just let ur horse lie down when it has colic!!! u have to get it up n walking!!! if u dont it will roll n twist up its stomach which gives u more problems!!! geez!
Yes, when your horse starts to collick or gets the sign of colicking call the vet very very quickly.and have the horse walk a steady pace........it will get there blood pumpping and help them go to the bathroom....and that will be good 2
"That's was very interesting" she lying next to Kate the entire half hour some time she mimics her and it fools me toughing that she colic too, Horses are like little children and they like attentions, and some time you have to be sure they not trying to overreact there needs Horses owners should take seriously what horse trying to communicating to you. (as every animals do)
a vet told me that walking doesnt help a horse with colic. it just distracts them and also gives the owner something to do so it puts their mind at ease. you should always call a vet when your horse shows symptons of colic. even if it appears to feel "better" after walking.
3jquarter... I am actually thankful that this video was put here, when my horse got colic I wasnt sure of the symptoms, since I am a new owner, my horse looked just like this one, so thank you for loading it Dorian
My horse died from colic:( i was aways for a couple of days and when i left him at the stable for that periode of time he died of it in the night.... just sad that no one was with him that moment
I'm no expert, is colic like bloat mixed with constipation? And if walking them can help a lot, then why is it so deadly to a horse? Can someone tell me?
Because they're intestines knot up, and twist together, That's why it's so bad. They sometimes kick themselves in the gut, to try to "fix" their problem. Sometimes a VEt with open them up, and untwist their intestines. You MUST keep them up and moving, for many reasons. It can kill.
get over it fooly, having a horse, any pet, even a child has its risks, you just accept the risks, prevent them and do your best. loving them is worth it.
i see...hmmmm...i have never heard of that. though we have always cought our horses before they got to bad. sort of in a way makes since. Though i am not to well informed on this stuff. i was/am learning more as i go along. i am out side alot with the horses and know each of their personality well. so if something changes or is wrong i can beable to tell asap before anyone else can
if it does happen again. get the horse up and start walking it for a while and dont stop. if you get tired have someone take a turn and do it in shifts. after maybe 20 minutes or so. stop walking and go to the hind legs. place your ear on the horses stomach(( alittle bit before the hind)) if you hear the stomach making noise that means its going to be ok. do keep a eye on the horse if it starts to lay down again and stop eating then take it for a walk and until you hear noises again
I agree, absolute, unfortunates at that time I was alone and she was in a lot of pain for a least 20 minutes rubbing her belly listen in for bowels sound until she starts to passing gas I did managing to get her to stand up. I did posted on the second video Thanks 4 you Comm. (next I did what you said.)
if the horse colics you are suppose to get the horse up and start walking it. when a horse colics the systom sort of stops. you have to get it up and start moving it. no matter what. i have had my horses colic so many times its not even funny. i would stay up all night walking in the dark. if a horse does colic the last thing you want it to do is lay down. you have to find a way to get it onto its feet and start walking it. i do hope she gets better and i am sorry if this post sounds mean
well my horse had signs of colic and i was always told to walk them and not let them lay down, but i was walking him and he was in a lot of pain so i let him lay down cause i was told i could unless he started to roll violently and within 10 min he was fine.

Also, seasonal variation has been investigated for cases of anterior enteritis, and while there was no statistically definitive conclusion, there was a trend for horses to develop enteritis in the spring summer.

Similarly, we also see more impaction type colics in the winter when horses dont drink as much and the pasture/forage quality is not as good. (you fucking idiot)

the horse is watching it they do it in the wild so that they protect it from preditors and also warns the other horses to be careful around the horse they will only do this if they have a strong bond with the injured/ ill horse my instructor explained when we saw one of the stable horses sparky standing over one of the others who was ill that was the only reason we knew something was wrong

deeXmc 2 years ago
So glad she was okay!! I read that it is better to walk them but if they are too tired (exhaustion can worsen situation) then it's ok for them to lay down, if they start rolling get em up quick! as it's the rolling that does the damage. This horse is just laying so it's ok. As her recovery demonstrates.

When a horse has colic you keep them off the ground! When they lay or roll, there gut can twist!
countryfarmgirl123 2 years ago
My trainer whenever a horse collics always says keep them walking and dont let them ROLL. There gut cant twist laying down they have to roll. It's best for them to walk but laying there can't do harm.

depending on the situation you should either get them up or let them lay. but i like how the other horse sat there with her.
HorseReport 2 years ago
Those of you who are saying to never let them lie down... the lying down doesn't hurt them, it's the thrashing and rolling that does damage. If the horse isn't distressed, let them lie there.

When my horse got colic.
the vet was on phone to use while he was coming [like while he was in car and that and he told us to try are hardest t get her up then lung her around the field. Most colic can just be trapped wind and it does something to the stomach and kills them.
SO we did get he up taking half a hour then lunged her in a trot and canter. Thats when the vet came gave her some injections and tables and she fine now. i love you Casca
But on teh other hand my horse vicky died of colic

when a horse colic's you NEVER let them lay down ever! that could speed up the colic's effects and they could die before the Vet even gets there! i
HorseSlaughterSux 3 years ago
Not always & sometimes there's no way from keeping them from going down.A twist will act different from a blockage & with a stress colick, it won't matter. If it's a burst ulcer, then you've probably got infection already in their cavity. Been there, unfortunately which is why I can speak from experience.
min54teresa 3 years ago
the horse may not want to get up though so letting her lay there is okay as long as she makes sure it doesn't roll which she kind of was by being there beside her and then going over and by her stomach.... The horse didn't look like she wanted to move at all =(

well actually.. when a horse colics you are sapose to walk it.. yes.. but could you imagine how tired that horse must be.. you are sapose to let it lie down for short breaks... and then get it back up. sometimes horses are so tired and the colic is so bad that you cannot get them up.. which could have been the case here.. don't badmouth someone if you dont know the whole story!

2-the Stupid idiot!!
But what about colic? Should you walk the horse until the veterinarian arrives? Should you put it into a corral and use a whip to keep it at a trot? What if it wants to lie down and roll? Should that be permitted (can't horses twist their gut if they roll?), or should the horse be kept on its feet?
doriano411 3 years ago
Do-U-Research before you write!!!
The universal remedy in years gone by was that the horse should be walked until the pain went away. There have been countless incidents where horse owners have walked and walked and walked. Then, they walked some more, until both they and the afflicted horse were ready to drop from exhaustion. Yet, the horse still suffered from colic.
doriano411 3 years ago
READ!!!Stupid
There can be many reasons for the pain and, until one knows the cause, it is difficult to decide what approach to take until the veterinarian arrives. (See the cover story on colic in the August 1999 issue of The Horse.)

Kate, Colic again on Nov.18, 2008 the nightmare come to me again and this time Kate turns for the worst, the mesenteric has twisted impacting her bowel with a enormous blockage.
doriano411 3 years ago
Now,the Vets. suggested after 3 rectal examination that the impact is keeping enlarged and there is not hope for Kate. She has to be put down!! . I decide not until I have no other choice, I will try every thing on her.
doriano411 3 years ago
(I have done many surgery and I have come across with complication similar and I know that there is a way to corrected without opening the bellyif its not a twisted bowel by a sand block)Kate had a total of 4,000 cc of fluid administered for the next two days.
doriano411 3 years ago
Her ups and down continues for the next 6 to 8 days. I stand by her for then next 10 days 24 hrs daily camping in my van, assisting in some case as her pain comes every 15 to 20 minutes during the chilly night helping her with Benamine, constant palpations to her abdomen implying continuously low wave impact with the palm of my hand so the bowels keep continually moving until she quicks gets up and pass some stools.

Are you stupid?When a horse get's colic the first thing you do is call a vet and quickly try to get your horse up and keep it walking.If you let it lay there is will get it's stomach twisted and that proably means your horse's life is going to end there unless you pay thousands of dollars for surgery.Beleive been there and done that with colic.

"That's was very interesting" she lying next to Kate the entire half hour some time she mimics her and it fools me toughing that she colic too, Horses are like little children and they like attentions, and some time you have to be sure they not trying to overreact there needs Horses owners should take seriously what horse trying to communicating to you. (as every animals do)

actually, a friend told me to stand the horse and make him walk a little, I did that and the horse felt better, cuz the poor thing was moaning.
haishalehaish 3 years ago
a vet told me that walking doesnt help a horse with colic. it just distracts them and also gives the owner something to do so it puts their mind at ease. you should always call a vet when your horse shows symptons of colic. even if it appears to feel "better" after walking.

dressagegurl4ever909 3 years ago
Why would you just pet the horse? Did you even try to get it up? And if you did, you should have kept trying.
When a horse collics you have to walk it, even the simple walking can dislodge their bowel if it got stuck somewhere.
Letting your horse lay is what would have killed the poor thing if the vet didn't come fast enough.
Idiots are what kill horses.

Very sad. if the bowels are twist there is nothing you can do but surgery, and that is 50-50 most of ther time dead is in the 24 hrs.

I'm no expert, is colic like bloat mixed with constipation? And if walking them can help a lot, then why is it so deadly to a horse? Can someone tell me?
xFoolyCoolyx 3 years ago
Because they're intestines knot up, and twist together, That's why it's so bad. They sometimes kick themselves in the gut, to try to "fix" their problem. Sometimes a VEt with open them up, and untwist their intestines. You MUST keep them up and moving, for many reasons. It can kill.

Colic in horses is abdominal pain that may be caused by a number of different problems. It is a common and potentially fatal condition.
Example, Sand, Larvas block in the large bowel twisted bowels (the worst)

DownHillNoBody15 3 years ago 2
if it does happen again. get the horse up and start walking it for a while and dont stop. if you get tired have someone take a turn and do it in shifts. after maybe 20 minutes or so. stop walking and go to the hind legs. place your ear on the horses stomach(( alittle bit before the hind)) if you hear the stomach making noise that means its going to be ok. do keep a eye on the horse if it starts to lay down again and stop eating then take it for a walk and until you hear noises again
DownHillNoBody15 3 years ago 2
I agree, absolute, unfortunates at that time I was alone and she was in a lot of pain for a least 20 minutes rubbing her belly listen in for bowels sound until she starts to passing gas I did managing to get her to stand up. I did posted on the second video Thanks 4 you Comm. (next I did what you said.)

DORIANoFILMS 3 years ago
if the horse colics you are suppose to get the horse up and start walking it. when a horse colics the systom sort of stops. you have to get it up and start moving it. no matter what. i have had my horses colic so many times its not even funny. i would stay up all night walking in the dark. if a horse does colic the last thing you want it to do is lay down. you have to find a way to get it onto its feet and start walking it. i do hope she gets better and i am sorry if this post sounds mean
DownHillNoBody15 3 years ago
well my horse had signs of colic and i was always told to walk them and not let them lay down, but i was walking him and he was in a lot of pain so i let him lay down cause i was told i could unless he started to roll violently and within 10 min he was fine.
