My PREGNANT HORSE ATE TOXIC FEED meant for chickens!!! 

Equestrian Lover I feel bad for laughing..

Equestrian Lover lol

XDDD

@Violet’s Equines Chill out. Crystal is fine, and this person obviously cares about ehr as well. Joking around makes us feel better and less stressed, and that in turn will make crystal feel calmer as well.

Violet’s Equines yea it was bad but having pregnancy cravings is actually real thing even though crystal is a horse is was just something to brighting the day crystal is ok nothing bad happened

So glad you posted this

Sometimes you don’t even have to move the trailer, just load them and they’ll poo

This will be SUPER helpful to those just starting out with a horse. Colic can be SO dangerous and is caused by tons of things so it’s extremely important to always be aware of it, although it’s a pretty common misconception that a horse rolling will cause the intestine to twist. My horse just coliced about a month ago and i was full of questions for the vet and she told me that it is actually a pretty bad misconception because sometimes, the intestines are already twisted and the horse rolling will scare the owner into doing anything and everything to get the horse up but only causes more stress in the process. It is still not good for the horse to roll because they end up scratching and bruising themselves on the ground but most of the time a horses intestines aren’t going to twist due to rolling.

My vet says that laying down is perfectly fine, as the pain messes with their electrolytes and makes them tired. Small rolling can be ok depending on what type you suspect, although he said to try and keep them from doing it very much. The colics that I've had on my farm have either been because of grass clippings (once, mare) or weather/gas (three times, gelding). Hay is good for gas colic IF they eat it by themselves, vet said it was like carbonated drinks for humans. Gas colic has another symptom of making the horse want to trot. My gelding's gas/weather colic was only about 4 hours long before he started nibbling on hay. But it was 4 hours of letting him trot around and then letting him lay. He also let out a watery poo and some pretty massive farts when he started getting better around 3.5 hours. Once he started nibbling on hay the vet gave us the clear to go inside and check in an hour or two. We did and he was eating hay much more. Original colic was at around 4 or 5PM, and we were out there untill about 8:30. Last check was at 12AM. Morning feed he was perfectly fine, if a bit tired. Ate breakfast just fine. The other two weather colics he had were in the middle of the night. We just noticed in the morning when he ate really slow and seemed really tired. Luckily he hasn't had an episode in about 3 years. Grass clippings colic was my fault. I didn't know. We stayed with my mare for a while and she finally started nibbing hay. Once she got a bit more vigorous with her hay munching we went inside. I don't even think she was that tired the next day.

Thank you! This is quite accurate! My horse currently is not in pain but this could be useful in the future or helpful for other people

Me too

Karolina Vasilchenko) Is Gucci there

@@marazelca3271 she also has a filter on to tho so 😅

Mara Zelca Thanks...

@@marazelca3271 she looks under age be careful

Emily Martin it’s Crystal but when my pregnant mare was 4 weeks until the due date she escaped out of the field and galloped off but luckily she came to a dead stop so I grabbed her and brought her back and now she is 2 weeks until her due date!! I literally can’t wait 🥰🥰

Awesome Strawberry it’s been 2 weeks. Has ur Mare given birth yet?

Yeah but that was YOUR horse 🤦🏼‍♀️

Sommertochter same I was thinking the worst things in my head

omg thanks for the heart i just saw this, you made my day❤️❤️🥺

They dont need sandclear on grass

KMichelle Argus I know but there is sand in the grass and the could ingest it

Ruby and Emma we give our horses sand clear after winter and after summer

KMichelle Argus yes most do it helps prevent them from getting a compact colic when the grass is dead and scarce that is when they accidentally ingest sand and dirt

Umm...Ive been through A LOT of colic over the years, some horses will eat grass when colicing. You only need to keep them moving if they are thrashing, you can cause more damage if you make them move too much and their intestines arent solid.

And one of the easiest things to do is take them for a trailer ride.

Jayden Schroder yess omg

You want half a gallon actually. Any less doesnt do anything

Well, you don’t want them to eat those actual food, but if they’re pooping letting them graze is fine.

Mineral oil smells awful XD no wonder she doesn't want to eat it!

alex liebchen I’m so sorry. I had to make that decision a few years back. Isn’t foundering laminitis? Or is it something else? I’m sorry because it is a sensitive topic but I am curious.

@@Aspengrove333 yes its laminitis. Don't be sorry im glad my baby is pain free and waiting for me on the other side. Never an easy decision and the first ive had to personally make as she was my first horse. I just never thought it'd be so soon. Not a day goes by that i don't think about her.

alex liebchen mine was my first horse as well. He was kept in a stall for the first 10 years of his life so his tendons just rotted away. He had to be put down just a year after I got him because he couldn’t stand. People at my barn made up a rumor that I put him down because he broke my collarbone. People are heartless sometimes. They are probably running in a big herd up there somewhere ❤️
