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.
