Horse Care and Feeding
Eating like a horse, facts confirm, is a bit of an anti-truth. Horses actually have very small stomachs for their size, and they can’t regurgitate or chew cud like cows do. The horse has a one-way digestive system, so if he eats something he shouldn’t have, you’ll have to wait until it goes through his whole digestive tract to work its way out.

Cure Colic
A colicky baby is something that can make the world of a mother turn upside down if she does not know how to cure colic. Aside from the fact that the mother would be on edge as to the real cause of the crying and wailing of her baby, if she is still unaware of the nature of colic, she would be very distraught at the scene her baby would be making if it so happens she and her baby are on a public place. Even at home, a mother would still find it troublesome if she does not know how to cure colic problems of her baby effectively.

Colic Causes and Treatment
COLIC
Babies suffering with colic need constant attention. They will cry incessantly and pull their knees up to try to relieve the discomfort in their stomach. They will usually be happier when on the move. Nothing seems to alleviate their distress. Advocates of breast feeding claim that breast fed babies suffer less colic than bottle fed ones because of the way they suck. Whether this is true or not its a good idea to check that the hole in the teat on a bottle isn’t to large and that the bottle is held so that milk is always filling the teat. When a baby feeds he sucks in milk and a certain amount of air. Whilst some babies merely burp out the air, others have difficulty getting rid of it and get air trapped in their stomachs and guts. The air builds up pressure causing irritation and pain. The baby’s reaction to pain is to feel thoroughly miserable and cry until he is able to pass wind or burp. The strange thing about colic is that it doesn’t always happen after every feed. It tends to be worse in the afternoon and early evening. Colic can last anything from 3 to 5 months before the baby grows out of it. Colic is very much linked to tension in the connective tissue and tends to occur in babies who’s connective tissue is very tight. This tension can be caused by a difficult birth, problems in pregnancy, prenatal tension in the mother etc. Tension restricts the movement of food through the intestines and causes pain.

Colic In The Horse
Many of our horses live a much different life than they used to. Horses once lived on the plains traveling in herds and grazing all day. This was what they were intended to do by nature. Today, however, we like to show our horses and we like to keep them in the barn for easy access. Our horses have begun to live in stalls or small pens most of their lives and because of this they have had to adjust. Many horses have adapted to this type of lifestyle, but it has not been without any healthy effects. Colic is one of the most common health issues that horse owners have to worry about today.
