HORSE OF THE WEEK
GLORY B
"My precious Glory B just turned 3 years old this week! She had a rough start in life, being born at 313 days, weighing a mere 18 kg and having a hard time latching on for several days. She also had some pretty bad angular deformities. She had to be weaned early at 4 months as she developed epiphysitis and small fractures in both front fetlocks. This required lots of stall rest and medication.
She had bouts of what we thought was "gas colic" on and off during the following spring, which increased over the autumn. Fast forward to last spring - she had a severe colic event that landed her in a local vet hospital for 4 days. Initially the vet suggested surgery, but I wasn't comfortable with the possible outcome and expense. I chose to wait and try more non-invasive support. After performing gastric endoscopy, it was discovered she had stage 4 bleeding ulcers (the worst case they'd seen). After 1 month on GastroGard, misoprostol, and sucralfate, the ulcers had improved 50%. Another month of treatment and the ulcers were 99% healed.
That autumn she had a bit of a flare-up again, so I treated her for another month with GastroGard and sucralfate. I tried several supplements throughout all of this. I kept researching and found nothing comparable to your product here in the US, and finally last year I was able to get EquiNectar in the US! I have to say I was super nervous to try something new and risk upsetting her fragile system, but she has not had any signs of recurring ulcers since using EquiNectar!
Two pumps a day to support her digestive health! Thank you so much for making this product available to US horses in need!"
