Hi all,

Any thoughts please on the above product.

I suspect my boy has had ulcers but after a year of feed management with Dengie Mollasses Free Hifi Light, Spillers Low Cal Balancer, ad-lib hay and plenty of turn out, he now only cribs and sucks very infrequently. I still find him touchy to be girthed and bolshy under saddle in upward transitions especially into canter. He does also get quite stressy and excitable in the stable if his stable mate goes out to be ridden, or he is just about to be turned out, even if there is plenty of hay, he box walks. We have just changed over to our winter fields and the grass is good so his poos have been runny to say the least over the last week. So I suspect he his having gas problems in the hing gut area. I have taken the decision to put him on a pro and pre biotic. I called Protexin and spoke to the "guy who knows" and he suggested starting him on the Gut Balancer. I have also decided to add a little Micronised Linseed to his feeds. So to this end would be grateful for any feed back from anyone with similar experiences.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
 
I used it for one horse on box rest after a short period of Gastrogard, it seemed to help at the time but he is now waiting to be scoped as I think the ulcers have returned or never fully cleared, now he is in work he is becoming more difficult so I want to scope before treating this time to make sure but would probably use protexin again along with GG, he cannot have linseed as it makes his legs fill but my others have it with no problems.
 
It didn't work for my boy at all, he was successfully treated with GastroGuard, I put him into alltech lifeforce and didn't look back... Until I decided to try the protexin... Massive mistake, my gelding changed completely, back on the lifeforce and he was back to normal and being an angel again! Can't say enough good stuff about the lifeforce!
 
I use protexin and I find it useful for my tb, he hasn't had ulcers though ( don't tell him there's something he hasn't yet had! ). Mines laminitic and prone to mild colic. Also seems to help greatly with the side effects of worming - no being a bit off for a few days or event line on the hoof.
 
Well Guys, a little update. I started Rip on the Protexin yesterday and..., it could just be my imagination and willingness to hope the dollop works, he definitely felt more relaxed when ridden this morning. No nasty face when being tacked up either! His upward transitions to canter were lot smoother and no niggly bucks. Here's hoping he's a lot happier on this.
