Management of medical colic should also inlude diet management. All food including hay and straw bedding should be withheld until the resolution of the condition. The normal diet can then be re-introduced slowly over 1-2 days beginning with a moist bran and alfalfa pellet mash, then grazing grass, followed by moist hay and finally grain. If the patient does not have continuous gastric reflux then ad lib water and a trace mineral salt lick should be provided. If there is any doubt regarding the diagnosis and exploratory surgery is a possibility then all food should be withheld during transport to the referral facility.
