GASTROSCOPE DAY | 20 OCTOBER | MUSK, VIC

A gastroscopy is how we definitively diagnose equine gastric ulcers.

Horses with gastric ulcers can show a range of signs, including:
* Poor performance or reluctance to work
* Changes in behaviour or temperament
* Reduced appetite or picky eating
* Weight loss or poor body condition
* Girthiness or sensitivity around the abdomen
* Recurrent, low-grade colic

However, some horses show very few obvious signs. These symptoms can also overlap with other conditions

A gastroscope is a long, flexible camera that is passed through the horse’s nostril, down the oesophagus and into the stomach. This allows our vets to directly examine the stomach (squamous and glandular) and the pyloric region.

Gastroscopy helps us assess the location, severity and distribution of ulceration, allowing treatment to be tailored to the individual horse. It’s not all the same!

Reassessment following treatment is important to determine whether the ulcers have healed and whether further management changes or treatment are needed.

If you suspect your horse may be suffering from gastric ulcers, or would like to discuss whether gastroscopy is appropriate, send us a message.

Safe facilities & limited stabling available overnight.

LAMINITIS: RECOGNISING THE EARLY SIGNS 🌱🩺

With spring pasture growth underway across Victoria, now is an important time to consider laminitis prevention, particularly in horses and ponies predisposed. Laminitis affects the sensitive lamellae that attach the pedal bone to the hoof wall. In severe cases, this can lead to displacement of the pedal bone and long-term complications.

Suspected laminitis requires prompt veterinary attention. Early recognition and proactive management can help reduce the risk of laminitis and its complications - Contact your veterinarian ASAP ☎️

What are the early signs?
• Increased digital pulses: A stronger or bounding pulse at the back of the fetlock can indicate foot pain.
• Changes in gait: Short, stiff or pottery steps, reluctance to turn tightly, or hesitation on firm ground.
• Increased hoof warmth: Particularly when accompanied by other clinical signs. Hoof temperature alone is not diagnostic.
• Weight shifting: Repeatedly shifting weight, lifting the feet or reluctance to move. A rocked-back stance may indicate more significant pain.

Prevention:
Horses with insulin dysregulation, equine metabolic syndrome (EMS), previous laminitis or excess body condition are at increased risk. PPID (equine Cushing’s disease) can also contribute.

During periods of lush pasture growth, consider the following:
• Grazing muzzles: A correctly fitted muzzle can reduce grass intake while allowing turnout. Check for rubbing regularly.
• Pasture management: Consider restricted grazing or a well-managed dry lot or track system. Avoid sudden increases in access to lush pasture.
• Body condition: Monitor body condition and neck crest fat. Lean horses can also have insulin dysregulation.
• Metabolic health: Discuss with your vet if your horse has a history of laminitis or other risk factors.
• Dietary management: Consider pasture, hay and hard feed together.
