  • Dr Jenni Grimmett is called out to examine a horse experiencing symptoms of colic which is very typical this time of year. As the weather gets cold horses generally do not drink enough water so Doc Jenni receives calls for lots of colics. She lets us know 9 times out of 10 in her area it’s going to be what she calls an impaction colic. At the clients stable, Doc Jenni takes the vitals of the horse and discusses his symptoms with the owner. She then pulls a fecal and discovers a mucus coating over all the manure which is a sign of impaction colic. Watch the treatment for this impaction colic and her follow on recovery plan.
    Dr. Jenni Grimmett is an incredibly approachable veterinarian, a wonderful teacher, and talented Cowboy Dressage horse woman. Learn more about Dr. Jenni at SAVE.vet.

    Probably the warmest place you could put your hands in that weather. 😂

    Definitely more salt. In winter I give my horses loose salt and it helps them to drink more. The loose salt over a salt block has Definitely improved water intake. We haven't had any impaction colic in many years.

    Colic is very serious and can be fatal. But I also think that some vets are to quick to want to put your horse down...

    I have always added some salt to my horses feed in the winter months. I also have used Forco in their feed for years.

    A warm, thick horse rug plonked on a freezing cold horse just dragged outa a frozen pond/lake ...is that a bad idea ? Surely , because the air is alittle warmer than the ice its just got out of, means the horse has to adjust alittle to the temperature ? Its already in shock. ?? Any opinion welcome. (By the way i dont have a horse but im sensible as i can try to be...)

    Is hyperventilating a common symptom of colic in a older horse?

    Is the loose salt, just table salt?

    Just saw a horse put down today - no tubing done. Really sad.

    So what's your opinion on how a horse should be treated immediately after being rescued from icy water ? Surely rubbing them down with hay or straw would bring up their crculation...and what about horse rugs ...???
