-====Small Colon====
-=====Pelvic masses=====
-A persistent mild colic may be found when intra-pelvic masses impinge upon the gastro-intestinal tract.  Most commonly these are haematomas.  Peri-anal lesions, such as [[melanomas]] may also produce these signs.
-=====Neurological deficits=====
-A complete or partial paralysis of the small colon and rectum may occur with [[polyneuritis equi]], resulting in a lack of faecal expulsion, and consequent obstruction.  A diagnosis is made via a neurological examination.  Treatment is palliative only, although the condition can be managed for many years by manual emptying of the rectum.
