Cribbing and wind-sucking behaviors in horses, known as CBWS, are associated with an increased risk of colic. Horses that exhibit CBWS are 35.4% more likely to be diagnosed with colic compared to non-CBWS horses. Colic causes severe abdominal pain in horses and can require treatments like nasogastric tubes, analgesics, IV fluids, or even surgery. To help prevent colic in CBWS horses, owners should increase pasture time, maintain a consistent diet with proper forage levels, and schedule regular dental checkups.
