When to Use Say Whoa
Horses can become dehydrated and slow in their digestion after a sudden change in weather, an abrupt change of feed, or a long ride or haul. Reach for Say Whoa when your horse:
- Refuses feed or leaves hay uneaten
- Seems off after trailering, showing or a long trail ride
- Has had a recent feed or weather change and isn’t passing normal manure
Colic is an emergency. If your horse is rolling, sweating heavily, pawing or showing obvious pain, call your veterinarian at once.
How to Give Say Whoa (Dosage)
| Horse weight | Dose |
| Over 100 lbs | Both syringes (2 x 60 ml) |
| Under 100 lbs | One syringe (1 x 60 ml) |
- Lift your horse’s head slightly upward.
- Place the open-end syringe in the side of the mouth, like a wormer.
- Squeeze the contents in and let your horse swallow.
Follow the directions on the label that comes with your product.
What to Expect
Say Whoa’s ingredients work with the horse’s body through osmosis, helping draw fluid back into the intestine to soften impacted material and encourage bowel movement. About 30 minutes after giving it, listen for gut sounds. They should begin returning within about two hours, and your horse should seem more comfortable. If gut sounds haven’t returned in that time, or your horse gets worse, call your veterinarian.
What Say Whoa Can’t Help With
Say Whoa is not effective for a twisted, torsioned, knotted or ruptured bowel. These are veterinary emergencies, so never wait on a syringe to resolve them.
Safe For
Say Whoa can be used for horses and foals over 100 lbs, mares that are lactating or in foal, and horses of any size or age. It’s for use in horses only.
Ingredients
Calcium, vitamin D, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, peppermint oil, vegetable glycerin, purified water and sorbitol. Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol found naturally in some fruits and vegetables, and it has a laxative effect.

Yes. Say Whoa can be given to foals over 100 lbs, and to mares that are lactating or in foal. For very young or fragile foals, ask your veterinarian first.
