RE: [RC] [RC] colic at rides - Steph TeeterRight - and what would cause the stomach to rupture? Excessive pressure (contents not passing through)(intestines shut down - no motility) (coupled with compromised stomach wall - e.g. ulcers) ? These are layman questions... I really don't know, am not a vet, but as a rider and participant in this sport, I care. Any vets out there care to venture an opinion, or observations?
