ulcers

[Lif Strand <fasterhorses@gilanet.com>]

Hi Susan - Paul has had ulcers & we learned that a human gets ulcers if
there is a certain bacteria (h pylori) present - and without the
bacterial presence there can't be an ulcer.  No stress, bad eating,
worrying, etc. will get an ulcer going without the bacteria being there.
(you might have other problems because of the stress, etc. tho)

I wonder if this is true with horses?  Because, if so, then the
treatment would be an antibiotic program specifically for that
bacteria.  I wonder if there's been any equine research done on this?
