However if the horse is not working and is resting a mouthful of hay or grass will not harm them, but it can make the bit dirty which will require extra cleaning.
How do you treat colic in horses?
Colic is in laymans terms a stomach ache. But that is bad for horses as they can not throw up. It can be a life threatening condition. The pain can be severe and a horse will roll to relieve it, this can cause the intestines to curl or twist or roll up on themselves causing portions of the intestines to die. There are all kinds of causes and all kinds of types of colic. It is the #1 killer of horses. Not all colic can kill a horse, some horses have cronic colic and live good lives. If you know what to look for and catch it quick enough, the horse can get over it well. The most common type of colic is when the horses's intestines twist, this can be treated by medicine or surgery, but colic is still deadly. if you mean signs, the horse will lay down and try to roll - try not to let them do this - the horse could die from that, because the stomach might twist and it is fatal
Will a horse with colic still want to eat?
Usually horses don't want to eat when they are colicing because it's somewhat like a bad stomache ache. When they stop colicing, i think it's good to have them drink some water, but I'm not that sure about what to do for colic. Sorry!
