DO YOU KNOW HOW TO SPOT COLIC IN HORSES?

Colic indicates a painful problem in the horse's abdomen (belly), which can be caused by a number of different conditions. Less than 10% of all colic cases are severe enough to require surgery or cause the death of the horse; nevertheless, every case of colic should be taken seriously because it can be difficult to tell the mild ones from the potentially serious ones in the early stages.

Horses show signs of abdominal pain in a wide variety of ways, and usually a horse shows only a few of the signs during an episode of colic. The rule of thumb is — the more obvious the signs of pain, the more serious the problem.

If you suspect the horse is suffering from colic, we suggest that you:

• Alert your veterinarian immediately

• Remove all hay and grain from the horse's surroundings

• Don't medicate without your veterinarian's approval, as pain medications can mask clinical signs

• Walk the horse around if it's continually rolling or in danger of hurting itself — but do not tire the horse with relentless walking and don't approach the animal if it's not safe

• Keep the horse under close observation until the signs of colic resolve or the veterinarian arrives

The key to increasing the chances of a good outcome is to identify the problem early and get your veterinarian involved from the start.

Please note that this is not an exhaustive list of colic signs. Horses are individuals and may display signs of pain in a variety of ways. Always consult your horse doctor for more information.

Managing and treating feline diabetes can often seem complex, as each cat requires a tailored plan that involves regular reassessment and adjustments to treatment as necessary. Our Diabetes Educational Toolkit is designed to serve as a practical resource for veterinary professionals, allowing them to quickly access and gather important information.

1/16 Update: Due to the severity of his dental disease, Jake is no longer eligible for adoption and requires placement with one of our New Hope Partners.

This is Jake. Last week, he sneezed and a tooth fell out. Jake has muzzle alopecia (hair loss), severe gum disease and cloudy, inflamed eyes, but he hopes you still think he's handsome. Behind all of these medical issues is a Very Good Boy.

We know he may not appeal to the average adopter due to his age and medical conditions, but we hope this reaches the right person who can help him enjoy the rest of his golden years!

Jake doesn't seem to be potty trained, but he has been around younger kids and a larger dog. Jake is available for adoption at the East shelter (1920 S Lewis, Mesa): https://apps.pets.maricopa.gov/adoptPets/Home/Details/A5107180
