[RC] help!! ulcer PREVENTION?? - GoTory

My mare had arthroscopic surgery 2 days ago to debride scar tissue and resect 
annular ligament.  Damage was worse than anticipated so surgery was longer 
and the rehab will be longer than I'd hoped.  She'll be stall bound for minimum 
8 weeks, on Adequan weekly for a month, joint injections every other week, and 
oral bute for a month, with very limited hand walking.
I'd really appreciate recommendations on ulcer prevention, hoping to avoid 
ulcer treatment.  She's already not a "happy camper" and this prolonged R&R is 
not her idea of a good time.
Any suggestions regarding any part of this rehab would be most welcome.  
Thanks VERY much.....            nikki
