Colic is a serious condition that requires immediate veterinary attention.
Here's why you should contact a veterinarian right away:
* Colic can be caused by many factors: These can range from mild gas build-up to life-threatening intestinal blockages.
* Treatment depends on the cause: Only a veterinarian can properly diagnose the underlying cause of colic and determine the appropriate treatment.
* Delaying treatment can be fatal: Colic can quickly become a life-or-death situation if not treated promptly.
Instead of trying to treat colic yourself, please contact your veterinarian immediately. They will be able to assess the situation, provide proper treatment, and offer guidance on how to care for your horse during recovery.
