Diagnosing Equine Gastric Ulcers

Equine gastric ulcer syndrome, also known as EGUS, is a fairly common disease that can affect up to 90 percent of racehorses in active training and 60 percent of show horses. Gastric ulcers are a result of damage to the lining of the stomach due to prolonged exposure to the normal acid present there. Unlike humans, horses secrete acid continually, which can result in an excessive amount of acid if the horse is not eating regularly and there is no feed to neutralize it.
