Colic means ANY abdominal pain, from mild to life-threatening.
Catching it early makes a HUGE difference.

Common Signs to Watch For:

• Not eating or acting “off”
• Pawing, looking at the belly
• Rolling or repeatedly lying down / getting up
• Little to no manure
• Restlessness, sweating
• Stretching out, like urinating

What to Do Right Away:

• Take away grain/hay (offer fresh water)
• Walk the horse calmly if safe (don’t exhaust them)
• Check gums, temperature, heart rate if able
• Call your veterinarian immediately
