Hi Shaun,
You're doing a fine job... hay 24/7, low starch feed, a good supplement along with omega 3 fatty acids (Reitsport is excellent), and Quiessence is also helpful in calming the nervous system.
I understand why you are giving a maintenance dosage of Ulcergard, but in the long run, medications that reduce stomach acid can cause complications. So, if he scoped clean, I would suggest that you wean him off of the Ulcergard.
There is one item I would add to feeding plan and that is Ration Plus. This will help his digestive tract heal by promoting the natural production of B vitamins by the bacterial flora that live in his hind gut.
Please keep me posted on how he is doing.
All the best,
Dr. Getty
