I have a new book out on how colic happens and what to do till the vet arrives

[Mdequifever]

I've dealt with colic before, and never had a horse die. Call the vet immediately! Colic is very serious and deadly. No matter what type of colic you need to get the horse up and walking! Keep them up and walking until the vet gets there. The reason you are supposed to keep them up and NOT let them roll is because their gut can get twisted. If that happens, your only options are to euthanize them, or surgery.

@ideasarebulletpr00f Oh ok I was confused. I'm sorry for your loss

[ideasarebulletpr00f]

@Emura100 No I meant he wouldn't come out until after 3 days of using the bute while the horse was still alive, but it was only 2 days after and he was dead. So I was trying to let people know 3 days could be too long.

@ideasarebulletpr00f 3 days? wtf the horse will have started decaying by then. Thats just sick

@kaeso100 You are completely right.

@109367 Actually rolling can aggreviate a torsion colic...

@FuketsuBatafurai Sorry, you are wrong, depending on the type of colic, rolling can be detrimental.
