In this episode Dr. Kirstie Oswald walks us step by step through the process of diagnosing and treating Gastric Ulcers. We were surprised at how complex this seemingly straight forward problem actually is and how connected ulcers are to your horses mental health and overall physical health. We JAM PACKED this episode full of detailed information on everything from preventing gastric ulcers, how nutrition plays a factor in gastric ulcers and how other injuries can interact with a horses overall health and cause gastric ulcers (or vice verse). We really dig into the details and get some juicy info about just how us horse owners can kick gastric ulcers to the curb for good (or manage them successfully). We sure do appreciate Dr. Oswald joining us and taking time away from her regular duties as veterinarian with Elm Creek Equine Veterinary Services. CONNECT WITH DR.
