¿Qué hacer cuando un caballo tiene cólico?

Colic is the most common cause of death in horses, which is why prevention is so important. How to tell if your horse has colic? It lies down and constantly looks at its belly. Clenched jaw. Flehmen response (gums rise and teeth show). It doesn't defecate or urinate. What can we do if we detect colic? We'll get it moving at a walk (even a gentle trot). We won't let it lie down. And we'll continue this until the horse passes gas or defecates. Recommendations to prevent colic in horses: Avoid sources of stress. Make sure they drink water and that they always have access to it. Don't make sudden changes to their diet. Ensure they have plenty of exercise. Don't leave too much time between feedings. - Avoid giving them straw. So, if your horse has good nutrition and hydration, plenty of exercise and companionship, and is completely stress-free, it's unlikely to suffer from colic.
