We will be holding another Gastroscope Day in conjunction with Randlab on Monday 10th November 2025Gastroscoping is the most effective and definitive way of diagnosing gastric ulcers in horses. Gastric ulcers are present in the majority of performance horses, and clinical signs can vary from change in performance, to weight loss, to recurrent colic.
The presence of gastric ulcers is confirmed by examining the stomach with gastroscopy, which requires passage of a thin tube down into the horse’s stomach. Video endoscopy allows clear visualisation of all parts of the stomach, and the images are shown on a large monitor for close examination.
It is not only useful to determine the health of the stomach lining, it also can show if any worms/bots are present.
Our Vets will be on hand to answer any questions you may have on the day and to put together an individualised treatment plan depending on the outcome of the scope findings.
Special Offers, Microchipping, Vaccinations and Faecal Egg Count (FEC) available on the day too.
