Colic Team - Our Mission
To instruct second and third year students in a case based manner on the diagnosis and treatment of colic through colic cases presenting to the Auburn Large Animal Teaching Hospital. The student will be expected to:
- Take a history from the client in conjunction with the fourth year clinical student.
- Perform a physical examination of the colicky horse.
- Assist the clinician, resident and fourth year students with restraint and examination procedures.
- Observe any surgical procedures that result, and participate in assisting the student resident.
- Present the case at the AAEP meeting, provide differentials, and discuss the cause of colic, options for treatment of the case, and possible preventative measures.
