Colic What is colic? Colic is a disease complex, not a specific disease. Specifically, it is abdominal pain which may be caused by a wide variety of disorders. They will be dealt with here as separate disorders which are recognized by the signs of abdominal pain (colic). What causes colic? The primary cause of abdominal pain in colic is distention of the stomach or the intestines. This distention may be caused by an accumulation of gas, fluid or feed due to an obstruction (blockage) of the digestive tract, or to improper action of the peristaltic movements which force material through the tract. Pain is also produced when the peritoneum is stretched during attacks of "colic."

Essential Reading for the Horseowner,
By Lynne E Neveu (Vance AFB, OK United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Illustrated Veterinary Encyclopedia for Horsemen (Hardcover)
This book is excellent. It is written at a level for the new 4-her to understand, yet detailed and advanced enough for the Veterinary Medicine student to use in her studies! I have owned this book for 11 years and it is my favorite. It helps the owner to understand ailments, anatomy, treatments, etc. Well worth the price!
