Help CenterTo definitively identify gastric ulcers, you will need to get your horse scoped by a vet. However, given the cost associated with scoping we understand this isn’t always possible.
Non-scoping options include:
- Using a presumptive technique based on acupressure points that you can practice at home.
- Use a trial dose of gastric ulcer medication to see how the horse responds; usually the symptoms of ulcers are alleviated within 3 -5 days of treatment.
