When we received a call about the need for emergency colic surgery in Bhopal, our #equivets didn't hesitate over the fact that this patient was over 800 kilometres away!
'Colic' can be broadly defined as acute abdominal pain. It isn't one specific condition, but rather a symptom associated with a number of issues that may affect a horse’s digestive organs. Prompt veterinary intervention can be vital in these situations, and sometimes (such as in this case), surgical intervention may be necessary.
Colic surgery is major abdominal surgery that often involves intensive aftercare, but thanks to an experienced equine veterinary team and dedicated owners, this beautiful boy is now back on his feet! 🐴
