Ulcers in horses, particularly stomach ulcers, are a common issue that can lead to discomfort, loss of appetite, and other health concerns. While conventional treatments exist and are effective in the short-term, many horse owners seek out safer, natural remedies to support their horses’ digestive health during treatment and for long-term prevention. 

Equines are magnificent creatures. They are powerful and agile, but they are also prone to injuries. Cuts and abrasions are common occurrences in their lives, no matter how diligent you are with their care. Knowing how to administer first aid and continue wound management when your horse receives a wound promotes optimal healing. Understanding how long those cuts, abrasions and lacerations take to heal is essential for proper wound care and management.

Horses regularly receive cuts, scrapes and punctures just going about their business. If you've been around horses for a long time, you know it's when they get hurt, not if. Fast and attentive care offers your horse the best results possible when he gets a cut, but the wound management that follows the initial treatment dictates how well the wound heals.

Gastric ulcers are sores from acid destroying your horse's stomach lining and esophagus. These sores, all referred to as lesions, erosions or ulcerations, may vary in size, number and severity. Horses of all ages suffer from gastric ulcerations, including foals. Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS) is used to express the complexity of the condition. EGUS is not a single, isolated condition but is a multifaceted disorder brought on by various factors such as feeding practices, stress, training and medications. To ensure the best prognosis, veterinarians and researchers must use a comprehensive approach to treat the ulcers and the underlying causes.

Maintaining a horse's maximum level of health involves multiple aspects of essential care, such as providing a well-balanced diet, clean facilities, routine vet care, hoof care, dental care and parasite management. One crucial element of caring for horses is wound care.
