Thank you everyone for all the information. I have received
several views regarding Gastrogard. Many use it to get over the acute
phase of ulcers, and then only use it as needed. Others switch to less
expensive Pepsid (or its cousin) for long term treatment. I have also received
many responses from folks who are using aloe vera juice (about 1 cup) each day
on their horses feed. Another choice is Miracle Clay, a Dynamite product.
Some have also suggested probios to tune the gut and ensure it is working well.
I also received a response that suggested I get a selenium
level as the symptoms suggested a selenium deficiency. As Jazzi is on
Timothy hay, grown in the northwest and is deficient in selenium, this is excellent
advise. Thank you again for the information, I am so blessed to have this forum
with all the years of experience to draw from. Stay warm and dry.
With deep appreciation,
