My horse is currently at the CSU vet hospital with colic. The only thing weird we could think of was that he eats Russian Olive Trees.. he seems to love them. He has been doing so for close to a decade. They consulted with their plant expert ("guru" they called him) and he said he has seen Russian Olive cause impactions, but it is rare and probably wasn't what was causing my horse's illness.
