Gastric ulcers are a common and painful condition affecting many performance horses. The stress of training, competition, and intermittent feeding schedules can lead to an imbalance in stomach acid, resulting in painful lesions in the stomach lining.
Symptoms of Equine Ulcers
Common signs include a poor coat, weight loss, “girthiness,” and a decline in performance. If you suspect your horse has digestive issues, it’s important to act quickly with specialized Equine Digestive & Stomach Care Medicines.
Effective Treatments
To treat and prevent ulcers, consider these proven solutions:
- Acid Regulation: Formulations containing Omeprazole are the gold standard for healing existing ulcers.
- Protective Barriers: Supplements that coat the stomach lining can prevent acid from causing further damage during exercise.
