In most cases the outcome of impaction of the colon is favourable and with mild purging and lubrication, the mass can be broken down and the horse returned to normal health. It is important to reevaluate impaction cases which neither deteriorate or improve in a 24 hour period and to perform a paracentesis to evaluate the etiology and prognosis. A decision of euthanasia or surgical correction should be made as early as possible. Though initially stable, vital signs will deteriorate rapidly without warning. A critical evaluation of the client's farm management can prevent many impaction colics and the service practitioners provide is not complete unless the necessary changes are made.
在大多数情况下，结肠阻塞的预后良好，通过轻度泻下和润滑，阻塞物可被分解，马匹可恢复正常健康。对在24小时内既无恶化也无改善的阻塞病例进行重新评估，并进行穿刺以评估病因和预后非常重要。应尽早做出安乐死或手术矫正的决定。尽管最初生命体征稳定，但可能会毫无征兆地迅速恶化。对客户农场管理进行严格评估可预防许多阻塞性绞痛，除非做出必要改变，否则兽医提供的服务是不完整的。
