What is impaction colic in horses?
Impaction colic is almost always food related, meaning the horse has eaten too much food or bad food. It can also be caused by a horse not having enough water to drink, especially after eating. Impaction colic is just what it sounds like - an impaction of food (a blockage caused by food) in the intestines. Horses who bolt or gulp down their food as well as horses who have problems with their teeth are at a high risk of impaction colic because their food isn't properly digested which can cause impaction and blockages. A high worm infestation can also cause impaction. Keep your horse on a regular worming schedule, at least every 3 months or when the seasons change. Consult with a veterinarian for the best wormer and schedule for your horse. Another cause of impaction colic is the horse ingesting too much dirt and/or sand. You can help prevent this by never feeding your horse hay or grain on the ground. Always use a dish, bucket or bowl and/or hay rack or hay net.
