The paper retrospectively presents diagnostics, conservative and surgical treatment of various small colon pathologies in 72 horses, which were admitted with abdominal pain (colic) to the Veterinary clinic "Novi Vek" of the Moscow State Academy of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnology (named Skrabina). Examinations were performed from the year 2007 to 2019, when 1810 colic horses were received and examined, of which 72 horses, i.e. 3.97% of all cases, were diagnosed with a small colon pathology. The most frequent cause of a small colon pathology was constipation that was diagnosed in 49 cases. Out of 72 hospitalized and treated horses, 62 horses, i.e. 86.1%, were successfully cured.
