putting a mare in foal that has/had gastric ulcers

[MissHocusPocus]

horse getting scoped tomorrow for gastric ulcers which I am pretty certain she has, if they are found she will then go on a course of gastrogard..

I was hoping to put her in foal may (first foal she will have) would this be safe?

may be a stupid question but I really dont know the answer! wondered what your opinions on this were? I shall be asking vet tomorrow

thanks

I'm not a breeder, but why would you when your
mare wouldn't be fully fit.
Personally I think too many foals are being bred,
I know of 2 foals that will be pts by the RSPCA
if foster homes can't be found, look at all the news
stories of abandoned/dead ponies.
No offence, just my opinion

We have a mare that was put in foal last year, but only after the ulcers had been cleared 4 months before. She has been fine.

Flirtygerty- I am breeding to keep the foal by a good stallion. I will not put her in foal if I don't think she is healthy enough, I was merely asking a question. Wagtail- cool thanks
