Diagnosing hindgut ulcers in horses presents unique challenges. Unlike gastric ulcers that can be identified using gastroscopy, hindgut ulcers are more elusive.

As horse owners, we’re all too familiar with the threat of gastric ulcers. These painful lesions, affecting the lining of the horse’s stomach, have been a topic of concern within the equestrian community for years. However, there’s another condition that often flies under the radar but is equally significant – hindgut disease.

Effective ulcer treatment extends beyond pharmaceutical intervention. While medications such as omeprazole, misoprostol, and sucralfate are essential for healing gastric tissue, they significantly alter gastrointestinal physiology.
