What does ColicStop do?
ColicStop is a complete and unique 3 stage program designed specifically to resolve the most common types of colic in horses; gas (tympanic) colic, spasmodic colic, and impaction (atonic) colic.  ColicStop is divided into 4 different treatments in order to make it simple for you to use, and to isolate the best, most effective treatments for each type of equine colic. For example, Colic Stop 1, also called 'StopIt’  addresses the pain of gas and ‘spasmodic’ colics most effectively. Spasmodic colic is the most common type of colic in horses, with an incidence of over 70%.  ColicStop “StopIt” contains rare and potent concentrated anesthetic and carminative ingredients derived originally from herbs, as well as natural ingredients that hydrate the intestines, increase circulation, and break up painful gas bubbles. Often, the colic episode is ended with one simple tube of ColicStop 1.
  ColicStop 2, “SootheIt” relieves the intense pain of intestinal distention which occurs during serious colic episodes.  This helps keep the horse on his feet, and prevents the rolling that is the result of colic pain.   Rolling can cause intestinal torsion to occur, which is a serious medical emergency in horses.
 ColicStop 3, affectionately named “Move It,” is a gentle laxative and gut stimulant designed to treat the second most common type of equine colic, impaction colic.  “MoveIt” is designed to help soften and move along impacted stools.  It works synergistically with ColicStop 1 and 2, which has prepared the system by increasing fluid in the intestines, breaking up gas bubbles, and reducing pain in the stomach and intestines.  If, as is usually the case, the colic is stopped by the use of ColicStop 1 and 2, then you do not have to give ColicStop 3.        
ColicStop 4, also called the “CleanUp’ is used last to soothe the intestines, and bind and remove poisons, toxins, parasites and inflammatory or causative agents from the intestine. ‘CleanUp’ has many other excellent benefits to the horse.  It can also be used in the days after a colic episode to hasten recovery time and help heal the intestine.  Some of our clients use it the day after worming with the standard antiparasitical drugs, especially if their horses are sensitive to those chemicals.  ‘CleanUp’ also works as a regular part of a deworming rotation program.   It has a ‘physical’ rather than a chemical antiparasitic action, and thus can help prevent resistance of parasites to antiparasitic drugs.  See the *instructions for use  page* for information on how to use ‘CleanUp’ in this application.  This function of CleanUp is especially important in colic prevention as well, since parasite infection is a major cause of colic in horses.
‘CleanUp’ is also excellent for use as a preventative when colic is threatened, such as when the horse ‘breaks into the feed room’ and gets too much grain.  Finally, there is something you can do besides watch and worry!
ColicStop ‘CleanUp’ can also be used alone in cases of suspected accidental toxin ingestion or poisoning in horses, dogs, cats and other domestic animals.  Given promptly, it will help to ’soak up’ the toxin (such as antifreeze, strychnine, blister beetle, moldy feed, etc.) in the intestine.  It is very effective when given in these cases before the poison has been absorbed into the blood stream. Many animal lives have been saved, and much agony prevented, by caring animal owners who keep a tube of ColicStop CleanUp readily accessible.  All three of these treatments are labeled carefully so that you can use them properly.   (See specifics on the  instructions page for poisoning treatment.)
