Hi Penny,

At the AERC Convention in 98  Kentucky Equine Reasearch did a lecture about equine ulcers and it seems it is very common, especially in race horses, and other performance horses. I think I remember 85% of performance horses have ulcers.  They have developed a product called "Neighlox" little pellets to add to the feed.  You can contact them and find out more about this at 606-873-1988.

I have a horse that was just diagnosed with stomach ulcers and I was curious
if anyone else has had the same problem? How is this going to affect his
ability to compete? Also is there anything else I can supplement him with
besides the very expensive medicines. I cant find alot of research done on
ulsers and it seems to be not a rare thing in horses. Any and all help is
greatly appreaciated.
