Omeprazole if they already have them, nothing works better. Probiotics plus ranitidine OR omeprazole as prevention.

Drenching them with Pepto will help relieve them temporarily but will not cure the ulcers.

I have had good results with the powder Douglas J Gordon sells on here. Can't remember what he's calling it now.

I did 15 days omeprazole and ranatadine mix in a tube and then have mine on a low maintenance dose of omeprazole once a day with aloe vera juice. If I take her to a barrel race, to ensure she doesn't relapse and get ulcers again I give ranatadine in the morning and omeprazole at night with aloe vera in her feed morning and night.

Daily doses of Omeprazole will cause B12 deficiency and is unneccessary.  You'll need to make sure that you supplement.

B12 is a water soluable vitamin and the horses body eliminates it daily so yes Vitamin B12 needs to be suplimented daily.

Omaprazole to do the initial healing, then we use Succeed for prevention and maintenance.

My vet swears by Ranitidine and says Omeprazole isn't nearly as effective.

Id say I agree.

Daily ranitidine users:

How much are you giving??

The drug book at work said 3.3mg/kg every 8 hours or 6.6mg/kg every 12 hours (those are off the top of my head but should be close). That seems like a lot of pills to get a horse to eat twice a day on a daily basis. For a 1200# horse that's roughly 11 tabs twice a day.

Y'all weigh in :)
