Initially he can. Manure that comes after the twist will be eliminated like there is nothing wrong. But the manure that is before the twist has no way out. This is what causes the problem. If not remedied by emergency surgery the horse will most likely die within a matter of a day or two.
I have never heard of a twisted gut, but I have heard of a twisted stomach. A twisted stomach occurs because of dietary problems.
'Twisted gut' is a term used when a horses intestines have moved inside them and twisted. this causes a lack of blood flow and stops the digestive process. A horse who has 'torsion' colic needs a equine veterinarian immediately as it can and will likely die without surgery.
A very small amount on occation probably would not hurt a horse but it is always better to stick to treats that are healthier. Carrots, apples, pears, or commercial horse treats you can get at any feed store.
It's called BLOAT and it is the second leading killer of dogs, after cancer. It is a VERY serious health risk, yet most owners know nothing about it. It is more frequent in deep chested dogs such as German Shepherds, Great Danes and Dobermans.
Chances are the horse has a case of colic...tummy ache in plain language. This can be as simple as a little too much gas that just needs some time and walking around to pass, or it may be as severe as a twisted gut that requires immediate surgery. If you see a horse exhibiting these symptoms, get it up and keep it walking while someone calls the vet. Horses' guts are notoriously difficult things to deal with. Don't take any chances.
When a horse has a twisted gut, its intestine is shut off and stops working. This is a medical emergency, and if the situation is not corrected quickly, the horse will die.
The horse will lay down and thrash around, they will also paw on the ground. If this is happening call your vet right away

The stomach is very delicate in young calves, the rumen has not fully developed if it does displace it abdomen (twist it's stomach) is very hard to cure. However, veterinarians may be able to perform a surgery for this injury.
The poop pills work by transferring healthy gut bacteria from a donor to the recipient, helping to restore a healthy balance of microbes in the recipient's gut.
sheep and horse
It probably means he has colic. You should immediatelycall the vet, and if he tries to roll, it is a good idea to walk him around so his gut will not get twisted. (Walking does NOT always work; merely a help.)
sounds like colic, which can be fatal. Get vet out to him/her immediately and try to keep horse walking and on his feet. lying down and rolling to relieve pain can cause a twisted gut
if you think it has worms for christ sake worm it why ask!
it depends on the horse.<3
cat gut stings are made from sheep, bull, and horse guts not cat guts. Early instruments were strung with gut.
