A Potentially Life-Threatening Disease to all Equines
There can be many causes of this pain ranging from mild to life-threatening.
As Colic is the biggest cause of death in equines it is vital that you are able to recognise the signs, know what to do and how to try and prevent it occurring in the future.
The University of Liverpool (UK) has been at the forefront of colic research and have kindly allowed us to link directly to their informative web pages on colic, aimed at horse owners and vets. The detailed photos, graphics and video clips give a better understanding of how colic develops and why factors including worming, dental care, dietary change and feeding routine must be taken seriously in horses and donkeys.
Please take a look, it might save a life…….
