You're doing the right thing by asking! Horses can indeed have gas, and while it's often not a big deal, it's always smart to keep an eye on things. Gas in horses can be caused by a few things, such as changes in diet, consuming too much rich grass, or sometimes just a sensitive digestive system.
At home, you can help your horse by ensuring they have a consistent diet and access to plenty of fresh water. Make sure they're getting enough roughage, like hay, which supports better digestion. Feeding smaller, more frequent meals can also help prevent gas buildup.
Keep an eye on your horse for any signs of colic, which can be a more serious issue. Indicators might include restlessness, pawing at the ground, looking at their flanks, rolling, or not wanting to eat. If you notice any of these, it's crucial to get veterinary attention right away.
If your horse seems uncomfortable with persistent gas, or if you just want more peace of mind, booking a video consult with us at Dial A Vet can help. We'd love to discuss your horse's diet and routine more closely to ensure they stay happy and healthy!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
