Grass Belly?

[vikkiandmonica]

My gelding seems to have a constant grass belly, even when he is in full work. He has been wormed, so know it is not a wormy belly, but does get worms worse then other horses (if anyone knows of a daily sort of wormer I could give him to reduce this, it would be much appreciated).

He is out on grass 24/7 and windsucks, and I cannot for the life of me get rid of his grass belly. For feed he gets Allan and Paige calm and condition, pasture mix, chaff and some supplements.

Any help on how to get rid of his belly would be much appreciated

Sounds like it could be ulcers. You have two options - get the vet to scope to confirm that it is ulcers and then follow medical procedures to cure them and prevent them or never really know and use a suppliment designed to help with gastic problems such as Uguard, gastrocare, neighlox, succeed or coligone.

i agree with lec...could be ulcers- i use Coligone on my boy who cribs as i think he may have ulcers... it has helped him a lot. xx

Ok thanks, I never really thought he would have ulcers... Thanks for the help

Neighlox would be best for you to look into as proven to coat the stomach for 6 hours according to SC research! I would have thought the longer the stomach could be coated then the less they are going to windsuck.

OK thanks, I'll consider buying some of that
