PVPHA RECORDINg SECRETARy

Dr. Slvia Oellette (forerl greenan) discssed l-

cers drin her presentation at the PVPHA eneral eet-

in Oct. 20.

Accordin to Oellette, lcers are a coon edical

condition in horses. An estiated 50 percent of foals and

one-third of adlt horses conned to stalls a have ild

lcers. up to 60 percent of show horses and 90 percent of

racehorses a develop oderate to severe lcers.

To nderstand wh horses are prone to lcers, it ishelpfl to know soe horse anato. Holdin onl abot

for allons, the horses stoach is sall copared to

hans. It is divided into two distinct parts. The non-

landlar portion (esophaeal reion) is lined b tisse

siilar to the linin of the esophas. The landlar por-

tion is lined with landlar tisse, which prodces h-

drochloric acid and pepsin, an enze needed for the

diestion of food. This part of the diestive sste also

prodces sbstances to protect the stoach fro the ef-

fects of the acid and enzes.

In hans, eatin stilates the prodction of hdro-chloric acid. In the horse, hdrochloric acid is constantl

bein prodced. If a horse does not eat, the acid acc-

lates and can start to irritate the stoach, especiall the

non-landlar portion.

There can be ltiple factors that can increase the risk

of lcers in horses, incldin the followin:

Fasting (not eating):Horses evolved to raze, eat-

in an sall eals freqentl. This wa the stoach

is rarel ept and the stoach acid has less of a daa-

in effect. If horses and foals do not eat freqentl, the

acid bilds p and lcers are ore likel to develop. yocan elect to provide sall aonts of food ltiple ties

drin the da. Often ha net allows constant razin.

There are tos that spit ot treats when kicked arond.

So there are several options for keepin or horse nib-

blin throhot the da.

Type of feed:The tpe and aont of rohae pla a

role in lcer developent. Rohae, becase it reqires

ore chewin, stilates prodction of ore saliva. The

swallowed saliva helps to netralize stoach acid. There

is an increase in acid prodction when concentrates like

rain are fed. Tr to decrease this tpe of food sorce.

The tpe of rohae is also iportant. Alfalfa is hih

in calci, and it is thoht that this a help decrea

the risk of lcers (fro an article b Dr. Foster).

Amount of exercise:As the aont of exercise

creases, there is often less chances to feed (ore fastin

less rohae) and heihtened stress, which increa

the risk of lcer developent. Exercise a increase t

tie it takes for the stoach to ept, so lare aon

of acid can reain in an ept stoach for a prolon

period of tie.

Stress: Stress itself a decrease the aont of blo

ow to the stoach, which akes the linin of the stoach ore vlnerable to injr fro stoach acid.

Medications: Chronic se of non-steroidal anti-

aator drs sch as phenlbtazone and nini

eline (Banaine) will also increase the likeliho

of lcer developent.

Signs and symptoms

Sins of lcers can be sbtle and non-specic; so

ties no sins are apparent whatsoever, while oth

ties the sins can be so severe that the reqire a trip

the hospital. ulcers ipact eneral health and can iother diseases like laeness.

In foals, sins inclde interittent colic, often af

nrsin or eatin; poor appetite and nrsin for onl v

brief periods; teeth rindin; excessive salivation; di

rhea; and lin on the back.

In adlt horses, sins inclde poor appetite or bac

in awa fro food at feedin tie; weiht loss and po

bod condition, sch as a dll and dr coat or; not a

in scle ass; colic or recrrin colic; ental dllne

behavioral or attitde chanes; poor perforance; exc

sive lin down while in the stall; stretchin to rinarelctance to allopin; discofort pon tihtenin t

irth; teeth rindin; or excessive salivation.

Dressae horses a show a poor tolerance to late

work, sweat profsel or refse to contine a ovee

Diagnostics

To dianose lcers, a veterinarian can perfor bloo

work to deterine whether the horses red blood c

cont is lowa sin of a severe lceror low packed c

vole, also known as heatocrit.

The veterinarian can also perfor a fecal test to sear

for occlt blood, a sin of activel bleedin lcers. The

Scceed Test, which is done stall side on a fresh anre

saple, distinishes between bleedin fro the sto-

ach or hind t (a sin of riht dorsal colon lcers). The

test costs abot $50 and takes abot 10 intes.

A astroscopwhich allows the vet a visal inspection

of the interior of the stoach b eans of a astroscope

inserted via the nose throh the esophascan also be

done. Nevertheless, the horse cant eat within 12 hors of

the start of the operation or drink within eiht hors to

ive the vet a clear view of the stoach. The horse is also

sedated. Becase the eqipent is now portable, its pos-

sible to do the exa in or own barn.

A veterinarian will se a cobination of edical his-

tor, clinical sins, laborator tests, and special exai-

nations to ake the dianosis. gastric lcers can be

life-threatenin. If or horse or foal is showin sins of

astric lcers, contact or veterinarian iediatel.

Treatment

medications and chanes in anaeent practices are

the cornerstones of therap for eqine astric lcers. Dif-

ferent edications are sed to decrease acid prodction,

bffer the acid that is prodced, and protect the linin of

the stoach fro the effect of the acid.

A veterinarian a prescribe acid blockers, sch

gastroard and ulcerard (Oerprazole). gastroard

the onl dr that copletel cres lcers; however,

expensive and reqires a 28-da dosin ccle. Its ad

istered as an oral paste with a once-per-da dosae. T

eneric version is one-tenth the cost, bt it doesnt wo

Stick with gastroard or Oerprazole.

Other options inclde stoach and acid prod

tion inhibitors like Cietidine (Taaet) or Ranitidi

(Zantac). The edications are adinistered three to fo

ties per da, one hor before feedin. These edic

tions are a little ore cost effective and better tolerat

b horses.

Liited absorption stoach coatinssch as scr

fate, ilk of anesia, papaa jice or aloe vera jice

dont do anthin to redce acid prodction, so the do

help the horse heal.

In addition to edications, chanes in anaee

are alost alwas necessar, incldin increasin taont of rohae in the diet; increasin the nb

of feedins; avoidin or decreasin the aont of ra

sin sppleents to add vitains; sin ineral a

veetable oils to add calories the horse a need; ivi

probiotics to aid in diestion; and/or redcin stress

SPECIAL TO THE DISPATCH

Editors note: Annamay Naef, a xture at local gymkha-

nas and riding events, died in a car accident at the be-

ginning of October. The following eulogy was given at

her memorial service by Sean Martin, her trainer. It has

been edited only for clarity.

What ore can I add that ost of o havent alreadred ot. Everones presence here todaand all the

well wishes that have been received the last cople das

shows the ipact she had on peoples lives, whether o

knew her or not. I think the best word to describe An-

naa is what Lisa alwas called her b, Annaazin.

She trl was a beatifl and aazin on lad.

As an of o know, Annaa rode with e for a

ver lon tiealost half her life. Which, of corse, she

was ore than happ to reind e of all the tie: Sean,

ore ettin old! Ladies and entleen, I onl 30

ears old, bt o know how it is. Fro a teenaers per-

spective, thats old.

Annaa was one of ver rst stdents and alw

held a special place in heart. Over the ears, she an

becae ver close. With all the ranch trips and traveli

we did, its difclt not to. She and I were alwas in s

with each other, no atter what we were doin or wh

we were talkin abot.

Bt when it cae to Annaa and I havin to plan o

travelin schedle toether, rin ot what trips s

wanted to o on never ade sense to e. In ya, this a bi copetition [with a] ood pa ot, awesoe t

ots, ood food. Bt Annaa never wanted to o to th

event, becase she said it was too far of a drive. Its a

a for-and-a-half- [to] ve-hor drive to ya.

I know ost of o are thinkin, WOW that is a lo

drive. Bt she was ore than happ to o with e

hal a horse p to Brideport. If o dont know whe

Brideport is, its jst north of maoth, so its a o

six-, abe seven-hor drive. Bt the kicker was after

dropped the horse in Brideport we were oin to he

over to Santa Rosa, which is an additional for or

hors. So in total for that da we drove abot 10-12 hors,

bt drivin to ya was too lon of a drive for her.

[It] never ade sense to e, bt she was the best road

copanion o can ask for becase she loved to talk, so it

was eas to sta awake. Bt the last hor everwhere was

toh drivin, becase she wold alwas know when that

last hor was and pass ot so I had to fend for self.

Ive coe to the conclsion that Annaa obviosl

loved this state, becase she never wanted to travel ot-

side of it, bt she wold spend all da drivin anwhere in

California. [She] never wanted to drive ot of state, even

if it was a shorter drive. Bt she and I ot to see a lot of

this beatifl state toether, and I was ver fortnate to

spend it with her.

Annaas ost pride and jo had to be denitel Tan-

o. When the rst approached e abot workin Tano,

I had never started a draft horse before, bt I said, Oh

well, Ill ive it a tr.

So I pll p with the trailer, and Heinz is walkin thisbi, beatifl paint shire down the trail. We o to pt

Tano in the trailer, bt he wasnt too thrilled abot that

idea. I dont know how an of o realize this, bt Heinz

is a prett bi stron , and Tano anked hi ot of

the trailer like a ra doll. I said to self, Jiin Christ-

as, what a I ettin self into. Becase copared to

Heinz, I one of those elves in the Wizard of Oz, [think-

in], What on Earth is he going to do to me?

We did anae to et Tano in the trailer; it took s 45

intes. Bt we did it. Workin with Tano ended p be-

in a breeze. He has a ood head on hi, ver sart, andhe picked thins p no proble.

So after a little tie, we brin Tano back for Annaa

to start workin with hi. I believe it was the rst ride

or second ride on hi, I dont recall. Bt she ended p

havin an eqipent alfnction. He did a in lead

chane, and the cinch ended p breakinand off she

went. We red as bi as Tano is, we had tie to rn

to Starbcks rab a cople acchiatos for s and an ice

pack for Annaa before she hit the rond. She had a

cople ore falls after that becase of Tanos bab an-

tics. Bt the thin abot Annaa is when she set a oal,she was bond and deterined to reach that oal. So she

cowirld p and pshed throh it.

Tano is not like an other draft horse. When he trns,

hes qick, and becase of his size, its like bein in a slin

shot. Annaa loved rnnin in khanas; Tano loved

sortin. gkhana and sortin are the two events that

Annaa loved to do. She loved khanas ore, bt I

think she did the sortin for e and Tano.

For those of o that do not know what ranch sortin

is, Ill ive o a brief explanation. We have to rond pens

pt toether, so the arena looks like a re-eiht with a

ave her the opportnit to

and I did have reat sc-

ostl becase the cows

pealin abot Annaa

and Tano is whatever the

were doin, it was soethin aical to watch. It didnt

wold both walk to the end of the earth for each other.

For a lon tie, Tano was the onl one Annaa loved

with all her heart. Then coes alon Tito, and I know for

a fact she loved and adored Tito so ch. Of corse she

loved Tano a little oreno one cold have ever co-peted with Tano in that departent.

Annaa had a beatifl sile that lit p the roo. Bt

when she wold think abot Tito, that sile ot a little

bit brihter. Her love for hi was nconditional. I know

what hes are oin throh is toh and never cold be

explained in words. Bt wish for hi is that he do his

best to learn each da, to becoe a better person to those

arond hi and ore iportantl, for hiself. Live a fl-
