can anyone recommend a probiotic and advice on grazing muzzle

[indiat]

Hi All,

We bought a lovely little pony about a year ago and the only thing I can fault him on is a dodgy tummy! He was recently diagnosed with stomach ulcers, kicked off when the children stuffed him with apples over the easter holidays. He has had a month of Gastroguard and is back to being his usual sweet self but the vet recommended we keep him on a probiotic. Has anyone got any that they can recommend? Also, he loves to eat the berries out of the hedgerow in his field and he gave himself a rotten dose of food poisining last autumn! I'd like to be prepared this year and I was hoping a grazing muzzle would stop him getting berries off the branches? Just wanted to make sure before I bought one though. Thanks in advance for your help!

You can also use Egusin as a follow on from the GG

Protein is one of the best on the market.

Protexin is what I use for my boy always works wOnders and u can get a quick fix syringe if it gets really bad. I usually buy the powder and pop a scoop in his feed x

Oh yes. I forgot that one. It's supposed to be really good.

If you get a muzzle, about a week before you put it on I really reccomed gold label skin hardening gel, the whole of my yard use it and this year we've had no muzzle rubs whatsoever
