No Ulcers.
It's official, the test has been done and Anky does not have Gastric Ulcers. I'd sort of come to that conclusion myself, but now I know for sure. To be honest it doesn't change anything, she still gets episodes of gassiness (trapped wind,I guess) but I can now rule ulcers out once and for all. I wonder if there is an equine supplement for trapped wind? Her current diet consists of grass more or less 24/7, hay when they come in for the few hours every day, two/three feeds per day of Dengie Hifi Lite,Baileys Lo-Cal Feed Balancer and unmolassed sugar beet. To this I add Aloe Vera Juice, Slippery Elm, whole colostrum powder and probiotic twice per day.

Thank goodness you have the results and good news its not ulcers.....mind you I think I would have wind with all that lot (dont you dare swear at me);-)
It's been a difficult journey trying to balance her feeds. If I didn't feed her the high fibre diet I think she'd be worse, especially when the grass is at it's richest. Do you think I should cut out the feeds altogether?
