Thanks in advance What I would suggest looking into is giving milk of magnesia or something along the same lines 20 min before a run. The lectures I have attended have been saying this is the better route to prevent ulcers.

Its how many vets recommend testing if you don't want to spend hundreds getting them scoped. I give 30cc about 2 hours before and another 20cc 20 minutes if I don't have omeprazole on hand. Mine spits half of it out which is why I give him an extra dose.

Veteran Posts: 113	You are wasting money as a pre-race fix. Omeprazole takes a few days to work. So if you're not giving it daily, it's pointless to give a boost before a show. Things like ranitidine work a lot faster for temporary relief. I learned this from a GI focused vet. But here's an article to back me up. https://depaoloequineconcepts.wordpress.com/2012/05/29/equine-ulcers...
