My mare had a mild colic episode a few months ago, first time ever for her. When I saw her she was sweating, nostrils flared, stomping and biting at her sides. I walked her for awhile and she eventually came out of it. My vet had me worm her with Zimectrin Gold a few days later even though she was current on her worming schedule. He said sometimes tapeworms won't die with the other wormers and worms can cause colic symptoms. Has he been wormed for tape worms recently?

I hope he gets thru it, it sounds mild at this point so hopefully he's over the worst of it like my mare was image

I agree, as worms & sand can cause colic too. Not supposed to worm a sick horse though, so after this colic episode is over I would worm him good for worms, especially tapes & check for sand if he has access to it.
