Sometimes the signs of gastric ulcers can be surprisingly subtle.

This 4yo Quarter Horse filly presented to REVS with a history of being a picky eater and showing mild girthiness when in intensive training. Although she continued to perform well, her owner felt something wasn't quite right. A routine dental examination was performed and blood work was unremarkable at the initial presentation.

Gastroscopy revealed severe Grade 4 glandular ulcers of her stomach.

Following treatment with omeprazole and implementing some management changes, a repeat gastroscope 56 days later showed remarkable improvement; the ulcers reduced from Grade 4 to Grade 1.

Most importantly, the filly is now brighter, more comfortable, eating well and ready to step back into competition work and perform at her absolute best.

This case is a great reminder that even subtle changes in appetite or behaviour are worth investigating. 🐴

REVS next Gastroscoping Day is Thursday the 2nd July. Call (02) 5954 9972 to book your horse in now.

🚨 COLIC IN HORSES – A TRUE EMERGENCY 🚨

Colic remains a leading cause of death in horses and must always be taken seriously. Early veterinary intervention can make all the difference to the outcome for your horse.

With the recent drop in temperatures, REVS has seen an increase in colic cases across our region. We urge all horse owners to remain vigilant and monitor their horses closely for colic signs including:
▪️ Pawing
▪️ Rolling
▪️ Looking back at the flank
▪️ Loss of appetite
▪️ Restlessness
▪️ Sweating
▪️ Repeatedly lying down and getting up

❗Importantly do NOT attempt to self-medicate your horse. Giving medications without veterinary advice can mask symptoms, delay diagnosis, and in some cases make the situation worse. If you suspect colic, contact your veterinarian immediately.

Another important part of being prepared is having transport capability in place for your horse. Some colic cases require intensive in-clinic treatment, and time is critical. If you do not own a horse float, we recommend organising ahead of time:
✅ Someone you can borrow a float from
✅ A local float hire option
✅ A friend or family member who can assist with transport in an emergency

If you are concerned your horse may be showing signs of colic, contact REVS on (02) 5954 9972.
