its caused by botflys. If you have any Fuciderm it will get rid of it. My horse had two patches on his lips and my vet knew what it was straight away.

Has anybody ever ordered from the above company? If so did you have any trouble getting it into the country? Seems a much cheaper alternative to Gastrogard.

just a quick afterthought, maybe swap your hifi to dengie hi fi molasses free. also i would cut out the fibre pellets , just in case its too rich for his gut to cope with. If your horse needs more oomph, they also do alfalfa molasses free. The hi fi has alfalfa in though so that will help, you...

Hi, Gastrogard is so effective I really wouldnt give Coligone whilst your horse is still on it. Ulcergard (equine america) is fine to give alongside the Gastrogard and indeed I personally would start it asap so it is in his system before he comes off the Gastrogard. Sulphur irritates ulcers...

Hi, does anyone know of any insurance companies that approve of using EP's to trim their horses. A friend of mine has had to cancel her insurance because they said she must use a qualified farrier to trim the feet. This has got me worried as I have never really checked the situation with my...

My horse was in perfect condition, was on no hard feed, had ad lib hay, daily turnout, not in fast work, hadnt had any upheaval or stress, no stable vices but was diagnosed with ulcers in November. On the egus website he scored low risk on their chart but yet he still has them. I knew...
