WHOOPS WEDNESDAY [The Tuesday Trivia Edition :) ]

It was a crazy day at the hospital yesterday! It may be a day late but here's your first Tuesday Trivia of November.

For the month of November we are going to focus on some questions regarding colic in our patients.  This time of year we tend to see an increase in impaction colics, which is when dry intestinal contents create a blockage with subsequent pain and discomfort.  These impactions can have various causes but one of the most likely is that the horse isn't drinking enough water.  So here's your question!

What is one thing you can add to a horse's diet that will encourage them to drink more water?

Feel free to post your answers here or on our Facebook page.  The answer will be posted at the end of the day.  Good Luck!
