No horse should suffer with EGUS.

Horses can “suffer in silence” with EGUS without the horse owner ever suspecting. Often, only a trained veterinarian can accurately diagnose equine stomach ulcers. Your veterinarian also is the best source for information and therapies to treat and heal EGUS — or to help you prevent stomach ulcers from affecting your horse.

Stay on guard for stress factors to pre-empt EGUS:

  • Competition1
  • Training1
  • Travel1
  • Limited turnout or grazing2
  • Lay-up due to sickness or injury2
  • Change in routine3
  • Trailering1
