GastroGuard VS UlcerGuard ~ He is eating grain!

[cretahillsgal]

I think you should stop giving him the supplements/grain. Hay/grass only. At least until he is improved. When I see one acting "off" like this, I immediately withold grain and give a dose of gastroguard and then grass hay and alfalfa pellets only. And so far, I've always been able to get them back on grain after a few days without any more problems.

Its 3:30 and still no call back

Going to stop the supplement against what my vet says, just don't know what to do. I also got some yogurt to try as well.

What about using Stomach Soother? I don't know anything about it, but I've seen it mentioned here before many times. Maybe someone who knows about it will see this.

Well after trying to talk to somebody no body called me back. I'm glad I made this decision to go somewhere else. He might have been a pinch better tonight. Never heard of stomach smoother.

Have the vets done any blood work yet to determine possible presence of bacterial infection or bleeding ulcers?

 

[JMS Miniatures]

No nothing. I am sure the hospital we are going to today will do bloodwork. Still the same as yesterday. Honestly he seems to have been doing slightly worse sense being on the pills.

Here's the webpage for stomach soother: http://www.stomachsoother.com/

I haven't tried it yet, but after it was recommended here, I did pick up a few of the packets to try out (one packet is probably 3-4 doses for a mini, but thought I'd try that way over a bottle to test it out).

He is over at Legacy Equine Center. I was afraid how the trailer ride would do to him but he came out looking good. He will get scoped tomorrow along with bloodwork and fecal exam. He is in good hands over there and the facility is beautiful.

He is eating grain again! He looked good once we got home. He was calling to the others. I wanted to start him on the other feed but was going to do it slowly so mixed some in with the mini feed but he wouldn't touch it. So I decided to see what he would do with just the new feed and he ate it all like normal. So something happened to him where he just doesn't like that mini feed.
