Hydrating horse following colic

[Ellietotz]

If the grass is short you could pick some long grass and put it in a bucket of water, that's how I got my horse drinking properly after impaction colic.

Thank you. I will try this too. She is thankfully eating watered down hay now and very sloppy feeds which I'm hoping will help as well.

She should be okay now and start to drink normally now she is eating properly, because with colic they initially have to be starved they often won't drink, my horse would not drink so vet said to hand graze then offer pulled grass in shallow water, luckily I have a few patches of grass in my front garden that were long so he was able to eat that and I was picking for him as well.
