The PROTEK GI transformation of Tooey
Sarah and her beautiful Quarter Horse Tooey battled with ulcers for over two years. Round after round of vet visits, medications, and money spent left Sarah nearly out of solutions – and options for Tooey. Nothing seemed to provide lasting relief for him until she found PROTEK GI - a solution that changed both their lives.
This is the story of Sarah’s resilience and Tooey’s recovery.
“My Quarter Horse Tooey has been battling ulcers for just over 2 years. He has had countless trips to vets, so much medication and so much money poured into his recovery. Nothing seemed to help him long-term. Once Tooey was off treatment needles or pastes, he would revert back to having ulcers. The best I have been able to have him at was Grade 1 while still on prescription medication.
I changed his diet, which seemed to help but as soon as he was back in work, we would go backward again.
I had worked in the stock feed industry for quite a few years and have sold countless tubs of Kelato PROTEK GI. In my mind, if prescription medication couldn’t help long-term, I was quite confident over-the-counter stuff wouldn’t.
However, I was at a point where I had run out of solutions, so I emailed Kelato.
Time to go to Kelato
I was advised to put him on PROTEK GI. This was his last shot as I was at my wit’s end and out of money.
I introduced it slowly with no problems. However, after a week or so, he refused to eat it. Twice a day I would make it into a paste, only going down this path as I had seen an improvement in him while I was introducing it.
In it for the long haul
I am now on my 3rd tub, and he still refuses to eat it, but the change in him has been remarkable. Now he has a good appetite, and 90% of his crankiness has gone. He is far happier in himself. Looking at his eye, you can see he is content. And he has a healthy coat.
Yes, the process of preparing the paste twice a day was time-consuming and messy however, the positive outcomes for Tooey far outweighed any inconvenience. I don’t need to halter him to give him the paste - he just stands there. He doesn’t spit it back out even though it can take up to ten 60ml syringes to get his amount into him, so it can’t taste horrible.
PROTEK GI is a WIN WIN
Since seeing the change in Tooey several of my friends have started feeding PROTEK GI (their horses are happy to eat it) and have all reported great signs. Tooey will remain on this indefinitely. I am now buying the large PROTEK GI 23lb tub and split this with a friend. It’s worked out way more cost-efficient for us both and means we always have fresh PROTEK GI on hand.
Time to hit the road
We will be traveling to a major event with our horses next April and before PROTEK GI I wasn’t going to be able to take Tooey, so I am now delighted!
Considering 90% of the horses going will be on PROTEK GI and it’s something that they can be on long term without side effects, I have never been happier to have been wrong!
When I make up Tooey’s PROTEK GI into a paste for him, I can see it actually thickens, so it’s easy to see how it helps line the stomach.
For anyone who thinks their horse may have ulcers, I recommend giving PROTEK GI a shot.
I cannot fault it. – Sarah and Tooey
