AAEP Resources Help Practitioners, Horse Owners Prepare for Hurricane

Foals are a speical type of colic. Other than meconium impactions shortly after birth, they rarely get simple intestinal problems. Colic in a foal is serious and should be investiaged immediately. I thought this was a nice summary of the process, similar to the adult horse we posted earlier. However the author's comment about ultrasound being used to seldom examine adult horses is not accurate. At least at BVEH, the vast majority of colic's will have an abdominal ultrasound screening as part of the workup. - Ben Buchanan
