      Did you know that horses can’t be sick (vomit)? This means that if they have a problem in their digestive system, it can be much more serious for their health than it might be for a person or another animal, since there’s no ‘easy’ way for the horse to get rid of something that’s damaging the lining of their guts. A vet might be required to flush liquid into the horse’s stomach or to give the horse a drug to help the digestive system work better or, in a worst case situation, to do an operation to deal with the problem.
