Colic in horses can be caused by lack of dental care. Horses that are unable to chew their food properly can suffer from impaction colic, where pieces of poorly chewed hay block portions of the intestine. Have your horse's teeth floated regularly when needed to avoid this type of colic.
Symptoms of Colic. When a horse has colic, the horse may grind his teeth and curl up his top lip. Since the lip-curling is also a sign of sexual arousal, it is important to identify other symptoms, to ensure an accurate diagnosis. Other colic symptoms include lack of appetite, grunting, sweating and rapid breathing.
