Prior to scoping

[Birker2020]

Forgot to ask the vet earlier when I booked him in. Currently using up the last of my Acid Ease and also feeding Calcium Bentonite, do I need to discontinue these as my horse is going for gastric scoping next Friday?

Am I ok to continue with electrolytes and vitamin E or should I stop feeding this for now?

Thank you.

I doubt it makes any difference , ive had mine scoped a few times and never stopped and supplements prior

Didn't stop any supplements (he also has acid ease) prior to my boys recent 2 scopes. All I did was follow the no food after 8pm and take water out at 8am (scope at 10am).

Ok thanks, he's going to stop in the clinic the night before which takes the stress out of a hungry door kicking horse for me

That's a good plan, mine was not a happy bunny in the morning, more from having to stop in for the night I think! Good luck.

I did that too the first time! I couldn’t bear the thought of feeding the others at night and breakfast and leaving one out!
I didn’t stop any supplements at all. All totally as normal until whatever time they said the night before.
