similar management regimen.  So far I have yet to see a case in an endurance
horse, although I have heard of the occasional odd case.  Not enough for me to
mess with acid-base balances when other ulcer remedies (antacids that are not
absorbed, histamine blockers, etc.) are so much more effective.

Most of the racehorse ulcers come from bute and other NSAIDs.
