She's doing GREAT with PROTEK GI!
Ā
Minimize the risk of squamous ulcers returning in the crucial window after stopping omeprazole withĀ PROTEK GI.
What does this mean for your ulcer horse?
We need to NOW focus on MINIMIZING the risk of squamous ulcers returning for the 48 hours after stopping omeprazole.
To do this we need to:
- Implement a strict R&R (rest and recovery) that does not involve exercise or travel for 48 hours after the last dose of treatment
- Protect the squamous region of my horseās stomach
- Help reduce the acidity of stomach acidĀ
Quick ways to achieve success!
- Forage, forage, and more forage!
Focus on feeding enough fiber and roughage to create a fiber mat in the stomach. This will help keep stomach acid down in the bottom section of the stomach and reduce the amount of acid splashing around in the squamous region of the stomach.
Acid splashing around = higher chance of the ulcers coming back.
Look at feeding long-stem forage (a.k.a. hay) over short-stem forage (a.k.a. chaff or pellets). Why? Long-stem forage means your horse must chew more. Chewing creates saliva, which is a natural way to reduce the acidity of stomach acid.
Handy tip: Alfalfa hay is a great choice because it is one of the best types of hay to help reduce the acidity of stomach acid.
- Start feedingĀ PROTEK GIĀ 5 days before your vet has recommended stopping the omeprazole treatment.
