Ulcers and Travelling.

[paulineh]

Back last year my boy started to move around a lot in the trailer (More when going around corners) I did put a camera in the trailer just to see what was going on. We removed his travel boos and bandaged him instead which did help a bit.

Since then he has been diagnosed with both Fore Gut and Hind Gut Ulcers. Insured so going the whole hog in treating him.

As he has Hind Gut ulcers I was wondering if these could be causing him to be uncomfortable and be come a little unstable in the trailer.

I know that this is not on the list of possibles but just trying to see if it could be.

He has always travelled well and we have travelled 100's of miles all over the country and abroad.

Could well be the ulcers making him uncomfortable. My mare wasn't great last year to load and would try and reverse out at high speed. Now her ulcers - stomach and hind gut have been treated, she self loads and drags me up the ramp.
