  • Mixed review

    This podcast could be so good if the host were to actually listen to their guests. There is no rapport, no flowing conversation and the whole thing feels stiff and awkward. Such a shame as the guests are brilliantly knowledgeable in their fields and could be engaged so much more. I won’t be listening again.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Horse Quick Takes - Signs of Hindgut Problems in Horses
Q: Dr. Andrews, Angela in Florida wants to know what clinical signs horses might present with that could indicate hindgut problems.
The hindgut is key for water absorption and manure formation, and early hindgut changes can be subtle with signs like lethargy and reduced appetite, progressing to clearer indicators such as colic signs, inconsistent manure, weight loss, edema, and abdominal fluid accumulation as the condition worsens.
Managing Senior Horse Expenses
Q: What can owners do to proactively manage senior horses and reduce long-term expenses?
Maintain regular wellness exams every six months, prioritize essential treatments (like PPID and arthritis management), and focus on a high-quality diet; avoid unnecessary supplements unless backed by medical need; plan ahead for end-of-life costs and keep a savings or funding plan.
What You Need to Know About Gastric Ulcers in Horses
Q: From Judy in Ontario: is it safe to use omeprazole during long trailer trips and how far in advance?
Yes, a preventive dose of omeprazole before and during travel is recommended to reduce ulcer risk, with dosing aligned to product guidelines (0.9 mg per pound daily) and continued through the stressful period.
What You Need to Know About Gastric Ulcers in Horses
Q: From Debbie in Virginia: can ulcers be prevented after treatment, and what about using supplements?
Prevention is possible through management changes (more forage, smaller meals, reduced starch, consistent turnout) and appropriate medical prevention (e.g., a preventive omeprazole dose when risk is elevated); supplements vary in quality and evidence, so consult a veterinarian for a science-backed plan.
What You Need to Know About Gastric Ulcers in Horses
Q: From Anne in Australia: what are gastric ulcers and what is the difference between squamous and glandular ulcers?
Gastric ulcers are erosions of the stomach lining; squamous ulcers occur in the upper portion near the esophagus and are more sensitive to acid exposure, while glandular ulcers occur in the lower portion and are protected by mucus and bicarbonate; location helps determine the likely cause and treatment strategy.
