CONTENT DESCRIPTION
Between 4% and 10% of the equine population is affected by colic per year, which may result in considerable costs or even loss of the horse. Therefore, it is not surprising that owners/carers are fearful of colic and eager to reduce the risk of colic and maximising the chances of long-term success of any surgical intervention. This panel discussion will start by outlining nutritional and feeding practices that have been associated with the risk of certain types of colic/recurrent colic and how this risk can be reduced via management modifications. The multidisciplinary international panel consisting of world-renowned specialists from the field of internal medicine, surgery and equine nutrition will furthermore address pre- and post-operative feeding strategies for general surgical as well as colic-associated interventions.

Andy graduated from Bristol in 1988 and after two years in mixed practice started in ambulatory equine practice in the Midlands. He gained the RCVS CertEP in 1993 before moving to Liphook Equine Hospital in 1994, becoming a partner in 2001. This was followed by the RCVS diploma in equine internal medicine in 2003 and European diploma in equine internal medicine in 2004. Andy has continued to perform a little first opinion ambulatory work although he now mainly works in the new hospital at Liphook with medical in-patients and the diagnostic laboratory. He has recently been appointed as visiting professor at the University of Surrey, Guildford and is involved in the development of a new veterinary school there. Andy’s main professional interests are in endocrine disease, liver disease, dermatology, infectious diseases and most other aspects of internal medicine.
