Gastric ulcers caused by bacterial infection? Also in NL

[Tickles]

I know that until recently it was believed that human ulcers were the result of stress & lifestyle factors, as I've heard equine ones are. Now that we know human ones are actually the result of a bacterial in faction and can be treated with antibiotics news story are there any ideas that equine ones are caused and can be treated similarly?

Yes and yes.

My horse has had them and been treated with antibiotics accordingly. So has Little_pink_piggies.

This has been known for some time - Richard Hepburn at Willesley seems to be the main proponent of this approach in the UK.
