When your horse shows signs of colic what type is most common impaction or spasmodic?

Spasmodic colic is believed to be the most common cause of intestinal colic. Spasmodic colic can be caused when a hot horse drinks cold water. It can also be caused by fear or stress, therefore flighty, nervous, high-strung horses are more susceptible to spasmodic colic than a calmer, more laid back, "bomb proof" horse. Impaction colic is very common as well. It can be caused by the horse eating a lot of feed or roughage such as hay and/or grass and not having enough water to drink. It can be caused by bad or moldy feed or the horse not chewing its food properly (another reason to keep your horses teeth checked) There is also Flatulent Colic, also known as Tympanic colic. It's more the indigestion type colic which causes a lot of gas and pain, normally caused from eating too much grain or grass or eating moldy or bad feed.

My horse had colic...now he acts like he can't see?

Colic is actually just a symptom that there is pain in the stomach, which can be caused by dozens of things. Normally, colic is caused by overeating, changing the horse over to a new feed too suddenly, worms, eating poisonous plants, as well as countless other things, including disease. Colic itself would not normally cause blindness but certain types of poisons cancause colic and blindness. One of the most common poisonings in horses is called moldy corn poisoning. It happens most often between late fall and early spring, after corn has been stored with too much moisture in it, or has been stored in a damp area and the corn becomes moldy. Moldy corn will have shades of pink and red to reddish brown colors in it. Moldy corn poisoning causes what is known as the blind staggers. A horse that has eaten moldy corn will exhibit signs such as circling, staggering, doesn't blink when you wave your hand in front of their eyes, confusion and panic. A horse can die from moldy corn poison in just a day or two once these signs begin HOWEVER it IS possible save them if the feed is removed and a vet is called soon enough.


What will happen to a rabbit if eats molded dry feed stuck to the side of the feeding goal?

Rabbits who eat dry moldy feed at the very least will get diarrhea and a very bad tummy ache. Most likely it will kill them. If a rabbit is left to it's own devises in the wild they WILL NOT eat moldy feed. But if penned in a cage with moldy feed the rabbit is most likely to eat it out of boredom if nothing else.
