On arrival, a full detailed history is taken, they will then be settled in their stable for the night and have no access to feed to ensure they have an empty stomach for the scope, which will take place first thing the following morning. Findings from the scope can be recorded and images shared with owner on request.
If ulcers are present, treatment options can be discussed with the vet at the time of diagnosis.
Gastroscopy is when a 3 metre long fibre optic camera is passed up through the nostrils and is then swallowed by the horse into the stomach.
Gastric (stomach) ulcers are sores that form on the stomach lining. Common in horses at any age but occur most frequently in horses that perform athletic activities such as racing, endurance, eventing and showing. Exercise is known to increase gastric acid production and decreases blood flow to the GI tract.
