Location: Texas | Have a mare that was diagnosed with ulcers last year. Have been treating them with Ulcerguard and Neighlox. In the past 2 months, she has gotten really gutted up and ribby. A friend said her daughter's horse got that way and they now have it on Succeed.I have suspicions that she is enemic?. Going to the vet in the morning for bloodwork. |

Location: My perfect world bubble | I use it and I'm a huge believer in it. It's done wonders for 2 of my hard keeper OTTBs. Here's a before pic of my 4 yr old, 16.2H gelding the day I got him, and another after 60 days on Succeed, Triple Crown Senior and being in a 5 day a week program. Still have a ways to go - but significant improvement! There's no filter on that top pic - his coat has the most umbelievable shine! The girl who clips for me also says she can tell the horses that are on succeed because their coats aren't nearly as dry and dull when clipped as the other horses. My vet got me started on it and I can't say enough how much I love it.

Location: a secret | Great product..My horses have done well on succeed. Expensive but worth it, I have reduced or elimated supplements for ulcers because of succeed. |

Location: Beggs, OK | Evaluate the rest of your feeding program...the ulcers are coming from somewhere. That gutted up, ribby look is from digestive distress and means that she isn't processing what you're feeding her. Find a good quality probiotic to help with her digestion/absorption and she'll look like a whole different animal. |

I agree with Rachel, you may need to look at the rest of the diet too.

| I have tried several ulcer products and imo succeed is the beat- I have ott gelding and he is very difficult about feed- hay supps- etc. once I switched to succeed he has ate well every since and looks great - its pricey but it works!- even though mine have full pasture I always keep prarie/Bermuda at all times in front of them and 1 1/2 flakes alfalfa a day for the difficult one -( probiotics beet pulp soaked- succeed-ex factor feed) this works great for us |

| Using Neighlox for an extended time is not good at all! They still need to produce enough acid to digest their food. If you're using Ulcergard and Neighlox together, I think that's overkill. Probably need to completely recalibrate some things Try this:
10 days of full tube of Ulcergard
10 days of 1/2 tube probios equine gel 2X a day
Recommended dosage SmartPak GI Ultra
6-12 lbs quality alfalfa pellets daily
Free choice grass hay
1-2 lbs rice bran
I've straightened out some whoppers this way. |
