you do that to keep him from lying down. and it helps the intestins to loosen up.
Also, to keep him from rolling which will worsen the pain. It just helps relieve a little bit of the pain.
not eating wanting to roll kicking at their belly not wanting to walk
if your horse has collic, take it to the vet imedatly... my horse died of collic. Good luck :)
I would advise you to see your local vet if your horse has colic because 90% of horses that get colic die from it. Ex my horse had colic but you should have your horse on a lead walking around and don't let it lay down, If your horse rolls over than its intestines will get even worse and not even your vet can help.
To cure colic, you need to give your horse antispasmodic medicine which can be bought from the shop. If your horse is under or overweight, it will be at greater risk of colic.
If this answer isn't too late, you should walk, walk, walk that horse! until the horse starts to pass gas even if he hasn't coliced yet, but ONLY walk or he will cramp, and don't let him role! hope this helps
When horses get colic it means that there intestines get blocked or twisted. Do not let your horse lie down or roll when they have colic. Letting them do so can make them die. Keep your horse walking.
Absolutely not. If a horse rolls while colicing, its intestines may get all twisted up and it could die. You must stay up with it and walk it around until the impaction is cleared. CALL A VET!!!
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
walk it and call the vet if things don't get better in 30 mins. make sure it doesn't roll.
