    Hind gut acidosis - no loose poo?

    That last bit re rite trac making biggest difference definitely suggests there is likely to be a hind gut issue! Good luck :)

    Hind gut acidosis - no loose poo?

    I agree to an extent Laroxes.... But succeed works out at around £50 a month so a lot better than repeated courses of gastroguard, and for me to see Donna was going to be £1000+ and my insurance has run out! Plus, thanks to very careful diarised management of him, I'm fairly confident I know...

    Hind gut acidosis - no loose poo?

    I also spent a lot of time and money treating stomach ulcers with limited success, within a week of starting on Equishure for hind gut acidosis he was much improved and is now vastly better after 6 weeks on equishure and I also have him on Succeed and aloe vera now. He's very nearly back to...

    Hot spot hip area - scintigraphy

    Interesting thanks. I'm hopeful that mine would come right in his ridden behaviour if I can just sort the pain I think he is in.... He's occasionally anxious but not to the point that it's a major problem. So glad yours is doing so well!

    So did a change of management alone see the biggest change? Glad you've sorted him - gives the rest of us hope!

    Kinnygirl have you now managed to resolve your problems? Did you find something more effective in your horse's case than the equishure?

    Kinnygirl I am waiting for equishure for my boy, based on reading various experiences on here! Fingers crossed....

    Hot spot hip area - scintigraphy

    GermanyJo - I've seen your name pop up on threads re gastric problems - I've done a lot of reading and research recently and there is a huge amount of evidence out there that low level intermittent hindlimb lameness, esp right hind, can be related to hind gut issues? Just worth considering if...

    Peptizole - anyone tried it??

    Equishure is what I am about to try.... Mine is very happy to eat thankfully!

    Peptizole - anyone tried it??

    I'm certainly no vet but from fairly extensive research it seems like the opposite is potentially true - certainly GGuard/Peptizole won't fix any hindgut problem and there is a fairly convincing argument that as proton pump inhibitors they may actually exacerbate it :( I'm in exactly same...

    Peptizole - anyone tried it??

    Wow, MSP, poor horse :( have you rescoped and there is literally no improvement? Horrendous.

    Peptizole - anyone tried it??

    Scatterbrain did your vet presecribe the ranitidine? Did you feed alongside the Peptizole? Tiger - totally understand your reasoning. Think some do simply take longer, but also worth looking into hind gut issues, there is an arguement that prolonged use of GGuard can actually worsen hind gut...

    Peptizole - anyone tried it??

    What grade of Ulcers was he scoped with? Potted history of mine isn't dissimilar - presented with behavioural issues, scoped, ggard short course - all seemed fine for a while (a few months), small flare up, another short course, all ok for a bit, then yet again gradually worse, this time got as...

    Peptizole - anyone tried it??

    Ooops seems I can't say who sells it for that price! But I just googled 'cheap gastroguard'!

    Peptizole - anyone tried it??

    ****** sell GGard for £154 a box of seven and peptizole was £138, that was a few weeks ago - appreciate the point re larger tube though. And does depend what your vet charges for prescriptions etc (fortunately mine doesn't!) TBH - my vet doesn't like GGuard/Merial on principle as he objects to...
