MID JUNE
Poor Ray has just been diagnosed with grade 4
ulcers, They will need treating initially with Gastro guard from the vet and need to look into a long term management
programme, it is very important we find the best feed to help prevent ulcers once they have (hopefully) cleared.
Becky (our vet) has advised that we carry on as normal
with the exercise and to have him re scoped in 4 weeks time, At least this explains the weight issues.
July 2013
What a mine field it is researching for the
right feed for a horse with ulcers is !
I have just noticed that Stacey from
Hartpury Saddlery, is a stockist for Saracen feeds (which is one of the ones
the vets recommended). Anyway, went to see Stacey and she was extremely
impressed with her tour of the Saracens mill and the strict quality control they have at their factory, and has arranged that I speak
with Nikki McGee (The Local Saracens rep) & there team of experts.
Met today with Nikki at Hartpury Saddlery and
she was very helpful and extremely knowledgeable She has recommended 2 Saracen feeds, the Relieve cereal free (important for ulcer sufferers) and low starch
along with Saracen EquiJewel
we will
get him started on it ASAP and keep you posted fingers crossed for regionals.
