I understand you’re looking for information on the risk factors for developing colic. However, the search results primarily define colic in humans and horses, and do not list risk factors for colic. I can provide a definition of colic.
Colic refers to pain originating from the contraction of muscular walls in hollow organs, such as the renal pelvis, biliary tract, or gastrointestinal tract. In infants, intestinal colic is common, especially in those who are bottle-fed. It is characterized by restlessness, continuous crying, and the drawing up of the infant’s legs. In horses, colic refers to various disease conditions associated with abdominal pain. Dietary changes are a significant factor influencing the incidence of colic in horses.
