Can anyone recommend a vet specialist is gastric ulcers

[andreo]

Apologies for long story in advance also posted on competition area. So posted on here before about Reo ulcer problem which first diagnosed 2nd may, g/g given and pepsin or something similar called . Rescoped 4 wks later no improvement and some were worse vet recommends more g/g for few weeks to see if improves then if not go with antibiotics to , so few weeks later not much difference in symptoms but my normal vet now moved so spoke with different vet at practise ( don't know them) and explained what previous vet said, but they want to wait longer till rescope which will be 2nd week July.
So tonight Reo extremely sore probably after flat work lesson last night, kicking at stomach etc.
I am feeling I need to do more sooner rather than later but think maybe it may be worth finding a vet who specializes in this area

Any thoughts pls or recommendation

It might be worth contacting Dr. Ridgeway for advise, he's an American vet who's written papers on ulcers, I was struggling to get any improvement with hindgut ulcers but a 5 min conversation with him gave me a treatment plan with great results.

I also support contacting Dr Kerry Ridgway - have a look at this: http://www.drkerryridgway.com/articles/article-ulcers.php - he is currently in the UK running a clinic and in his lecture yesterday on ulcers said that for serious cases 2 runs of Gastrogard can be customary, he also talked about Ranitidine as he does in this link (as well as the Egusin products).

Gutted to have missed yesterday but had a prior engagement, he's a brilliant lecturer.
