Signs of colic may be caused by abdominal pain not associated with the gastro-intestinal tract, for example, pain associated with uterine or [[testis|testicular]] torsion, or originating from  the [[kidney]]s, [[liver]], [[ovary|ovaries]], spleen,  [[pleuritis]], or pleuropneumonia.  Other diseases which sometimes cause symptoms which appear similar to colic include [[laminitis]] and [[Equine Exertional Rhabdomyolysis|exertional rhabdomyolysis]].
