While equine colic is a relatively common disorder of the digestive system, Dr. Pol discovers Jack the horse has other needs. Is there anything Dr. Pol can't solve?!

[TheGeekMonster]

Such a good boy! Literally working himself till he can't even stand up. And the dogs are so sweet, laying nearby, clearly worried about their friend.

This show used to be on Netflix..i loved it...wish it was back on netflix

Basically they worked their poor horse to exhaustion. At least they did call Dr. Poll, hopefully a lesson was learned. Cute dogs watching over their friend.

if you're wondering the outcome here's what the episode said: Jack was given some shots by Dr. Pol and the owner began giving him 2 pills a day prescribed by Dr. Pol, the next day Dr. Pol came back and Jack was sitting up. He was not standing and had not moved but at least was not laying down on the ground like the day before. He was very alert and was eating and drinking. Dr. Pol said that allowing him to rest and continuing treatment, he should be fine. this story can be found on episode 9 season 12.

Thank you Dr Pol for helping. Yes, I know how bad muscle cramps can be. Hope it's just a case of muscle cramps though and that the horse will get well soon. Thanks National Geographic for sharing.

[fortifiedmentality]

You should have let us see the horse eventually get back up.

[ponygirl]

Poor horse. They dont know when to stop, you have to quit for them.

[dalefdykstra]

There should be a follow up video on the horse to see if he got better 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[terryhyde]

Jack is a great working horse. He just over did it. Bless Dr. Pol♥️

Compassionate soulful people that care for the creatures of God like Dr Pol have their place in Heaven immediately, what a great guy. 😇💓👏👏👏👏

Hmmm a bit of magnesium would have helped as well, especially fed the night before
