Re: [RC] [RC] colic at rides - Karen Sullivan----- Original Message ----- From: "Steph Teeter" <steph@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Right - 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? Steph twisted gut.....could that perhaps been influenced by dehydration (caused by transport, athletic endeavor)?
