Cólica Equina: The #1 Killer of Horses
Colic is abdominal pain in horses and the leading cause of death. Knowing the signs and acting fast saves lives.
Colic is not a disease but a symptom — abdominal pain that can arise from the gastrointestinal tract, urinary system, or reproductive organs. In horses, colic is a true emergency. The twisting of the intestine (volvulus) or displacement can cause death within hours without surgical intervention.
