A major concern of horse owners, colic is a common disorder of the equine digestive system, resulting in abdominal discomfort and often severe pain. It is likely that most horses will have an episode at some time in their life. On Tuesday, November 19, 7:00–8:30 pm, Dr. Kathleen MacMillan, Equine Ambulatory Service, Atlantic Veterinary College, will share her knowledge about this painful and potentially deadly condition in horses. She will present information about the different types of colic, recognition of symptoms, diagnosis and treatment, and reduction of risk of the illness. The event will take place in AVC Lecture Theatre A. Everyone is welcome. Admission is free and refreshments will be served. Donations to the AVC Friends and Family gratefully accepted.
