Abprazole: Treatment For Dressage Horses with Gastric Ulcers (Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome)
Abprazole is a medication for horses used in treating and preventing digestive ulcers. Ulcers can be caused by a horse’s diet, training program and lifestyle. There are ways to assess a horse’s risk for gastric ulcers. Equine gastric ulcer syndrome can be diagnosed by a veterinarian but some symptoms may suggest that a horse has this condition. When these symptoms are observed to be present in a horse, it should be taken to a veterinarian right away to rule out equine gastric ulcer syndrome.
Obviously, if you are a dressage horse owner, you would never do anything to deliberately harm your precious horse, let alone allow it to suffer from digestive ulcers. In fact, as a horse owner, you will do everything to ensure that your horse gets the utmost care it can possibly get. To aid in the higher demands of more challenging lifestyle, you add more grain to his diet. To keep its legs from harm and injury, it is safely kept in a stable, limiting the time spent outside in the pasture. You are expecting to be joining a series of shows in the months ahead. You can’t wait to show off your horse’s impressive attitude and in testing its unfolding dressage skills. With diligent training and attentive care, you have laid a strong foundation for success.
Unwittingly though, you might also have set your horse up for digestive ulcers.
Equine gastric ulcer syndrome (EGUS) has been the issue of studies for many years. This is very common all over the horse population than researchers and horse owners used to believe. The condition digestive ulcers, technically known as equine gastric ulcer syndrome (EGUS), affects approximately 40 percent of the entire dressage horses. Despite the fact that a lot of factors related to the management and care of horses have been linked to the occurrence of ulcers, the two greatest contributing factors that predisposes a horse to develop ulcers are changes in eating habits and changes in training condition. There are ways to minimize your horse’s problem with digestive ulcers without affecting the dressage training or giving up your dreams.
Abprazole does not only contain equine omeprazole which is the only active treatment for equine gastric ulcer syndrome (EGUS) that is approved by the Food and Drug Administration but also used as a preventive treatment or as prophylaxis. It is proven to be safe for all horses with no side effects reported. Like any other medications, extra caution must be be followed using Abprazole on pregnant mares and foals.
With Abrazole, horse owners can now confidently use a product that is proven to be effective in keeping their dressage horses ulcer-free while they continue to stay in training.
Equine parasites are silent killers. They can result in causing substantial damage without you realizing that your horse is tremendously infected. At the very least, horse worms can weaken the immune system, steal the horse of useful nourishment and cause a gastro-intestinal inconvenience and unthriftiness. In a worst case scenario, they could contribute to promote colic, rupture of the intestines and even death! There are over 150 internal parasites that cause suffering to horses, involving a lot of major species. One of the most common and bothersome are: large strongyles or what is also called the bloodworms, there’s also the small strongyles, the ascarids or more commonly known as roundworms, the bots, tapeworms are also found be present is many infected horses, threadworms as well as the lungworms. Any or all of these equine parasites may simultaneously exist in a particular horse but could be at various phases in their life cycles. This influences the type of equine worming program needed to appropriately combat them. It must also be kept in mind that there are some types of internal parasites that can lay over 200,000 eggs in one day so loads of these type can escalate very fast.
Various parasites affect the horse in various ways. Some can destroy tissues and vital organs that include the great blood vessels to the intestines, liver, gut, lungs and the bowels, while they travel throughout the body of the horse in order for their life cycle to be completed. They could obstruct and ulcerate the digestive tract of the horse and greatly irritate the horse as they lay eggs the way pinworms do.
Contrary to the common impression, a lot of horses that have excessive parasite levels strike someone as being ideally healthy. At first glance, they may seem to be plump, sleek and lustrous, but hidden under the physical manifestation the internal parasites are causing irreversible damage. On the other hand, some horses especially the young ones, these equine parasites take a visible toll. Here are some marks of infestation by horse worms:
- Dull, rough haircoat
- Lethargy or reduced energy
- Loss of weight
- Coughing and/or nasal discharge
- Rubbing of tail and hairloss
- Colic
- Depression
- Decreased appetite
- Unthriftiness or loss of condition
- Diarrhea
One of the techniques to an effective programs in controlling equine parasites is the fecal examination which simply requires taking 2-3 fresh balls of feces to the veterinarian for tests. This basic procedure can pinpoint the specific horse worms that a particular horse is infected of. By making a count of the kind and number of internal parasites present in the feces, a recommendation by the veterinarian as to the appropriate equine worming program for your horse.
Horse worms can develop resistance to some medications. After a time, the dewormers may thus plainly become unsuccessful. To avoid this from happening, it’s important to have a horse wormer rotation and a combination of different dewormers that target different parasites.
Ablerquant is a broad spectrum horse wormer in oral paste form. It is a two-in-one combination of Ivermectin and Praziquantel that provides maximum worm control in just a single dose!
Success Story for AbPrazole from Vicki Bartelt
Quarter Horse Lazer
“This is a photo of me and my horse Quarter horse Lazer. He appeared healthy but I had been seeing signs of Laziness and weight loss. He even laid down on me twice on a trail ride. I had taken him to a clinic where he became very uncomfortable to ride and I had to leave the lesson. Friends told me to check his thyroid which I had the vet do in the spring with the coggins, It was borderline but normal.
One day a friend noticed him laying down and then getting back up not really a colic but mild. I had the vet come and check him out he suspected ulcers, I had him tested and he had grade 1 ulcers in the margo plicatus and the pyloric region. He suggested GC at 45 dollars a tube for once a day.
I had a friend who had done the research on ulcers and found the Omeprazole (AbPrazole). She gave me some to try until my order arrived. The results were immediate and the horse began to gain weight and become active again.

Avant Traitement AbGard oméprazole
Ces images gastroscopie prises au Qatar Equestrian Federation (QEF) sont de l’estomac d’une jument arabe de 15 ans qui avait été transporté de l’UAE au Qatar. Elle était arrivée à la
QEF Hôpital vétérinaire et avait subi une grande blessure à la tête pendant la transportation qui avaient besoin de suture.
Après l’arrivée (évidemment souffrant d’un stress considérable) la jument a commencé à montrer des signes modérés de coliques intermittentes plusieurs heures après avoir été offert de la nourriture. Finalement, une gastroscopie a été réalisée qui a révélé une ulcération gastrique de grade IV de la partie non glandulaire de l’estomac.
Après Traitement AbGard oméprazole
La jument a commencé sur un parcours de AbGard ™ oméprazole pâte par Abler (le seul traitement administré) et une fréquence accrue de l’alimentation. En quelques jours, la colique cheval avait résolu et elle avait retrouvé son appétit normal. Juste 13 jours après le début du traitement, la jument a été examinés à nouveau et les images ci-dessous ont été enregistrés. Les images post-traitement montrent une amélioration spectaculaire et nous sommes très heureux de la réaction de la jument au AbGard Abler.
Chez les chevaux, le stress, la maladie et les antibiotiques peuvent tuer les “bons Microbes” dans l’intestin d’un cheval.
Définition des probiotiques et des exemples
- Les probiotiques sont des microorganismes vivants qui lorsqu’ils sont administrés en quantités adéquates, produisent un bénéfice pour la santé du recipient.
- Pour être considéré comme un probiotique des bactéries doivent être vivantes lorsqu’il est administré au cheval
- Doit contenir un microbe taxonomiquement définis (s), incluant le genre, l’espèce et la souche et être sûr pour l’usage prévu.
- Typiques probiotiques équine comprennent les Lactobacillus et espèces de bactéries Bifidobacterium et en plus de la levure Saccharomyces boulardii.
Comment les probiotiques AbActive Profitez chevaux?
Chez les humains, les probiotiques sont utilisés pour diverses raisons, y compris le traitement / gestion de la diarrhée infectieuse, la maladie inflammatoire de l’intestin (par exemple, la colite ulcéreuse, la maladie de Crohn), syndrome du côlon irritable, l’infection à Helicobacter pylori (qui cause des ulcères chez l’humain), ulcères gastriques, dent décomposition / maladie parodontale, infections vaginales, infections cutanées, et même dans le traitement de certains cancers. MOS pouvez également lier des agents pathogènes.
Dans l’industrie équine, probiotiques telles que les Abactive sont principalement administrés pour les Gastrointestinal concernes (comme la diarrhée), pour encourager la croissance des bons microbes, et pour minimiser l’invasion et la croissance de bactéries pathogènes.
L’administration d’antibiotiques, le stress, les voyages, les changements brusques dans l’alimentation, et l’infection à Clostridium spp. ou de Salmonella spp. peut potentiellement modifier les populations de microbes normaux dans le gros intestin d’un cheval.
Les propriétaires de chevaux administre des probiotiques a les chevaux qui sont traités avec des antibiotiques systémiques, ont développé une diarrhée, sont hors alimentation, et avant de les transporter et d’autres événements stressants. Probiotiques AbActive aidera à améliorer la performance des chevaux et aussi leurs bien-être général.
Probiotiques AbActive Abler sont peu coûteux, facile à administrer, et a potentiellement un impact bénéfique profond.
Les preuves scientifiques appuyant l’utilisation de ces suppléments reste peu. Néanmoins, il ya certaines informations pour appuyer l’utilisation de ces produits chez les chevaux. Une étude publiée en 2005 prend support l’utilisation de S. boulardii administré par voie orale aux chevaux hospitalisés avec une entérocolite aiguë (diarrhée). Chevaux traités ont connu une baisse significative de la gravité et la durée de la maladie par rapport aux chevaux qui ont reçu seulement un placebo.
Une étude séparée sur l’administration de fructooligosaccharides à chaîne courte chez les chevaux (publié en 2008) a conclu que des probiotiques a été efficace dans la réduction des perturbations dans les populations microbiennes colonisant l’intestin postérieur des équidés dans des situations stressantes (par exemple, les surcharges d’amidon aiguë).
