GASTRIC ULCERS

If you have noticed any change in appetite, weight, performance or behaviour in your horse, give one of our vets a call today to see whether gastric ulcers could be the cause.

Gastroscopy is a routine procedure that aids diagnosis of gastric ulcers. Our vets at Robson and Prescott are experienced and happy to answer any questions you may have. Make an appointment with one of our vets if you’re worried your horse may have gastric ulcers.

The majority of horses with gastric ulcers respond well to a simple treatment program, our vets can advise you on how to avoid this painful condition recurring 🐴🩺

When you visit your horse each day, you should check all over them for any issues. Check their eyes and legs for any injuries. Run your hands all over them to check for lumps and bumps. And make sure they are eating, drinking and urinating as expected. Not only will this help you keep an eye on any possible issues, but it will also be great for continuing the bond you have built up with them! If you are worried about anything, give us a call.

Like us, as horses age, their nutrition needs change to help keep them healthy. Their ability to chew and digest food changes. We recommend a top-quality diet that is easy to chew and highly digestible. Call us if you have an older horse and want some advice on what they should eat.

If your horse or pony is scratching, it could be sweet itch. This is an allergic reaction to mosquito and midge bites and can be really uncomfortable for them. There are ways to prevent your horse or pony from suffering like using a fly-rug, using repellents or midge-screens. But there isn't really a cure. This article from World Horse Welfare gives you the lowdown.

Sweet itch is one of the most common allergic skin diseases affecting horses in the UK - learn how to prevent and manage it.
