Re: Ulcer Treatment

Hi Jaymie,

How wonderful to hear! Thank you for letting me know how well your horse is doing -- you are doing a wonderful job and should be commended!

I would definitely continue with the Glanzen Complete as well as using Daily Start. But if you're giving a double dose of Daily Start, you can reduce it to a maintenance dose. This preparation is very helpful in maintaining a high level of hindgut microbes, as well as feeding the immune system. He seems to be doing well on it, so I suggest staying with the regimen that is working.

Best wishes,

Hi Dr. Getty - just wanted to give you an update and ask about ongoing support/supplement for this guy. he is feeling so much better! I've seen a change in his disposition and behavior. He's had a few acupuncture treatments for ulcers, and has no more ulcer touchy spots, and tests prove he's 'well'. he is mainly on a forage diet/grass hay + some alfalfa and a small amount of equine senior. I have maintained his Glanzen Complete and wanted to know if I should also keep him on Daily Start probiotics as well. Anything else he could benefit from? thanks for your support - Jaymie.
