Gas colic develops when a horse ingests forage that is high in sugar-usually lush spring grass- and excessive fermentation occurs in the gut, which creates a buildup of gas. Horses cannot burp, but they can of course expel gas in the other direction

TREATMENT:
-antispasmodic medication + painkiller (buscopan),

G=generally showing restless behaviour
