In this episode, cohosts Kim Brown and Dr. Nicole Rambo discuss ways to manage and prevent gastric ulcers in horses. They discuss the difference between drugs and supplements, where the latter is meant for prevention and ongoing support, while drugs address the disease. Dr. Rambo introduces common medications prescribed for ulcers and explains their effectiveness.
They also discuss supplements, noting the importance of not relying on supplements alone and addressing other risk factors. They clarify the importance of forage in a horse's diet, the risk of sweet feeds, and the maximum meal sizes for horses. They touch on issues that can cause ulcers, such as stress, transportation, and herd dynamics. While acknowledging the complexity and range of factors influencing ulcer formation, the hosts underscore regular tuning into individual horses' situations and pursuing vet consultation whenever things seem off.
