RE: Re: [RC] [RC] EIPH bleeder??? - heidiOh, Heidi, I am soo sorry to hear about your mare. Maybe Sue can answer this question about the erosion of the gutteral pouch. Is this caused by stomach ulcers. Or are we talking the same thing with a scientific name? This happened a dozen or so years ago--just wanted to point out that they are not always symptomatic. No, this doesn't have to do with stomach ulcers--the gutteral pouches are up in the back of the throat, and hence communicate with the nasal passages, so blood from them comes out the nose.
