WALK,WALK,WALK that horse until he passes gas!!! If the vet tells you it's too late and it has to be put down, DON'T!!! just walk it and walk. the horse will cramp up if you trot, so only walk and do not let that horse roll! keep walking it unitl he seems normal and take it's temperature and heart rate. hope this helps

I would advise you to see your local vet if your horse has colic because 90% of horses that get colic die from it.

What can one do to calm colic in a baby?

Unfortunately the only "cure" for colic is time. Babies usually outgrow the worst symptoms of colic by 4-6 months. In the meantime there are several things one can do to make the baby as comfortable as possible. Rubbing their stomach and left side in a clockwise circle can help with digestion. Bicycling their legs can help relieve gas. Sometimes a warm bath can soothe an upset baby. Some mothers swear by gripe water or other colic medicines, but there isn't much scientific proof to back up these claims.


Why does your horse bite at his hind quarters?

There could be several reasons why a horse is biting at it's hindquarters. First it could be a simple itch, caused by either a bug bite or dry skin etc. Secondly and more importantly, it could be a sign of colic. Horses will bite at their stomachs and flanks when they are experiencing a bout of colic. You should immediately go examine the horse for further signs of colic if you see them doing this just to be on the safe side. Lastly and rarely it could be a 'vice' some horses will self mutilate in an attempt to relieve boredom. If this is the cause, you will need to make lifestyle changes for the horse.
