Our equine veterinarians provide horse owners with information about identifying, treating, and preventing equine colic – the leading cause of premature death in horses, and one of the most common equine veterinary emergencies.
Colic is not a disease, but a variety of signs that point to abdominal pain and gastrointestinal distress in horses. Because colic can be fatal if untreated, it’s important that horse owners understand the condition and know when and how to respond.
