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.
