Equine gastric ulcer syndrome (EGUS) is common in horses. A history of mild intermitted recurrent colic signs after eating is noted in many horses. Management of horses with abdominal pain caused by gastric ulcers is especially difficult, because non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, typically used to control abdominal pain, may exacerbate this condition. Effective pharmacologic agents are available to treat EGUS and eliminate abdominal pain, but more comprehensive measures of environmental and dietary management are needed to manage horses with EGUS and prevent recurrence. This article focuses on the history, clinical signs, diagnosis, and management of horses with abdominal pain associated with gastric ulcers. The primary goal is to provide an understanding of EGUS and to review effective pain management and specific antiulcer treatments and management strategies in horses with EGUS.
马胃溃疡综合征(EGUS)在马匹中很常见。许多马匹都有进食后出现轻度间歇性反复绞痛症状的病史。治疗由胃溃疡引起腹痛的马匹尤其困难,因为通常用于控制腹痛的非甾体抗炎药可能会加重这种情况。有有效的药物可用于治疗EGUS并消除腹痛,但需要更全面的环境和饮食管理措施来治疗患有EGUS的马匹并预防复发。本文重点关注与胃溃疡相关腹痛马匹的病史、临床症状、诊断和管理。主要目标是让读者了解EGUS,并回顾患有EGUS马匹的有效疼痛管理、特定抗溃疡治疗和管理策略。
