Re: [RC] ? for the vets - Sisu West RanchThe finding that at least one colicing endurance horse died of a ruptured stomach shows what good can come from a necropsy. I have decided that if any of my horses colic at a ride again: 1. I will not allow fluids by stomach tube. 2. Have one inserted to relieve pressure if the gut seems to be completely shut down. I suspect that if this were to be standard treatment procedure, some deaths could be prevented.
