Spring time is here 🌸 Which means once last cold front….. also known as colic time 🥴
•
Clinical signs to look for: rolling (and not shaking when getting up), not eating/interested in grain, hay, or grass, laying down, flank watching, flehmen response, adr (ain’t doing right), pawing, and stretching
•
Ways to help prevent colic: water, water, and more water 💧
Dehydration is the leading cause to so many symptoms of colic. By feeding mashes, wetting hay, offering flavored water, and adding table salt (the only electrolyte to increase thirst), you are helping to decrease the risk 🚰💦
