Check out this great information our friends at the AAEP shared recently! This ties into the amazing Gastrogard promo that is happening, see our previous post for details on how to get some $$ back! 🐴💰🎉

Remember when your parents used to tell you to wait 30 minutes after eating before going for a swim? Unlike us, horses can actually benefit from eating forage before they exercise, as it may help reduce the risk of gastric ulcers.

While a variety of factors can contribute to the development of stomach ulcers (medications, diet, stress, etc.), one train of thought is that these areas of irritation result as a consequence of the acid of the stomach splashing against unprotected parts of the stomach lining. When a horse eats forage, the hay can help absorb some of that acid and thus reduce the risk of ulcer formation.

It is important to note that a forage meal (one comprised of long stem hay) provides the most benefit, while eating large volumes of concentrate feeds (such as oats, corn, or other cereal grains) can actually increase the amount of acid within the stomach.

As always, please be sure to consult with your veterinarian regarding further diagnostics and treatments if you have concerns that your horse may have gastric ulcers.

Thank you to the AAEP Horse Owner Education Committee for providing this information.

Love for Loni is happening tomorrow at Williams Beach Equestrian. Have you checked out all the amazing items up for grabs? It's incredible!! DVS has donated a gift certificate for a FREE gastroscopy (NOT include mileage or meds). We are based in Qualicum Beach and offer full service equine veterinary services from here over to Port Alberni, up to Courtenay & some surrounding areas and Powell River (We are happy to consider other locations on a case-by-case basis). We've had a lot of questions about logistics of this service. YES we can do this "on farm" All we need is a barn or walk-in shelter that is protected from the elements and electricity, that is it 🙂. NO you do not have to be a regular client of DVS to participate. NOW FOR THE DRUM ROLL!!!!! Since there is only one gift certificate.... We will forward an additional $75 per horse (100% of proceeds from necessary brief exam required prior to sedating your horse) for any additional horses scoped subsequent to this gift certificate OR this event!! Just be sure to tell us you love Loni when booking and we will make it happen!

It seems we were targeted on Dec 31st by unknown person(s). They did their sneaky work in broad daylight and left no evidence of their identity. If you are responsible, please come forward, no questions asked.
