Colic Cocktail
Our emergency colic mix!
We developed this mix for those emergency situations where a horse is exhibiting signs of colicking- ie: abdominal pain, rolling, sweating, refusing to eat. This mix has been an amazing addition to our herd management! This supplement is the first thing we grab when we have a horse colicking.
We mix 1 tablespoon of the mix in a 60cc syringe, fill the remainder of the syringe with water, shake vigorously. Administer the entire syringe of the mix orally to the colicking horse. Give two syringes of the herb/water mix at the initial signs of colic. Promptly start to exercise the horse, whether it is walking, lunging or trotting the horse around. Exercise for at least 20-30 mins, longer time if needed. Continue until the horse's colic symptoms are resolved. Call your veterinarian for this type of emergency.
This can be repeated every 3-4 hours. After colic symptoms are resolved we recommend that you give 1 tablespoon of this mix (dry form) in their feed two times per day for at least 3-4 days along with a reputable probiotic. Also make sure to make plenty of water available. Normally we start the horse on our GI Support mix after an episode of colic.
