Knowing that help is at hand during an emergency situation such as colic is a huge reassurance. It can be a distressing time but understanding and having prior knowledge and plans in place should this happen to your horse can certainly help if you are faced with some difficult decisions, for example, if your horse requires referral to an equine hospital. 

By working together, the veterinary practices below have signed up to be our Vet REACT Colic Champions. Throughout the year they will be helping to provide advice, presentations and resources on all issues related to colic to their clients. We are delighted to have their support.

Colic

Last updated: 3rd October 2023

Colic is used to describe clinical signs of abdominal pain or discomfort in the horse; hence colic is technically a symptom rather than being a disease. Colic is the most common equine emergency and cause of death in horses worldwide
