[RC] ulcers - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Chris Kaznowski krysia@xxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

I am also the proud owner of 2 of Barney Fleming's ulcer research subjects.  I 
took them to the study in an attempt to add to the population studied.  They 
were asymptomatic and had no performance issues.  (although one is a nervous 
type)  Both were positive for ulcers, with the worse case being the one I would 
have bet money on to be OK.  We treated both, and  we use Neigh Lox  before 
work or trailering.  I haven't re-scoped them  (they're still asymptomatic) 
because it is quite the production to do it.
Perhaps the proposed urine test will make it easier to screen for them.   My 
message to anyone who is sure they don't have a problem would be:  Have you 
looked?

ride my horses a lot more than most people
