RE: [RC] Ulcer Treatments - stephteeter

Quick note on ulcers/treatment. One of the vets at our clinic was on the
original research team that worked for Gastroguard (omeprazole). I have been
riding a horse that I suspected might have ulcers. I talked to him about
treatment, conditions, etc. I asked him if the condition would eventually
resolve - the ulcers heal - if the stress conditions were removed. (i.e.
travel, competition). He said yes, the gastric lining can heal on it's own,
the best situation for healing would be to have the horse on free choice
pasture - or 24/7 forage - for at least a month. And then if/when you put
the horse back into work/competition (or stress) use Ulcerguard (1/4 dose
omeprazole)for the week of transition, and/or regular use for prevention of
re-ulceration.

Gastroguard....

The biggest advantage to scoping to me would getting a definitive diagnosis
and seeing the extent of the damage so if you recheck later you can see how
she's responding to treatment.

Good luck

Subject: [RC]   Ulcer Treatments


My mare was diagnosed with Ulcers today. I know this has been discussed
alot, but could y'all share some treatments (natural and regular
medicine). Are there any advantages/disadvantages to scoping or not?
It's quite a chunk of change in my area.


Also, I'm looking for Alfalfa hay in the Piedmont of NC. Pure Alfalfa
for the ulcer mare. If anyone knows of anything...


Thanks!
Steph
