==Gastric Causes of Colic==
 
*[[Gastric Ulceration - Horse|'''Gastroduodenal ulceration''' or ''''Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS)'''']]
 
*'''[[Pyloric Stenosis - Horse|Pyloric obstruction and delayed gastric emptying]]'''
 
*'''[[Gastric Dilation and Rupture - Horse|Gastric dilation and rupture]]'''
 
*'''[[Gastric Impaction - Horse|Gastric impaction]]'''
 
*'''Gastric/pyloric spasm:''' this commonly affects racehorses, immediately after racing, and is known colloquially as 'racehorse colic'.  Typically, the animal will have had access to cold water, but this is not always the case.  Although the signs of colic seen may be very violent, this condition is not associated with any risk of gastric rupture.  '''Spasmolytic''' drugs are ineffective in treatment, however, naso-gastric intubation is immediately curative.
 
*'''Gastric Neoplasia'''
