The only way to diagnose if an ulcer is present is via gastroscopy & we are running a gastroscope offer on the 26th of July.
A gastroscope is used to diagnose gastric ulcers, and it involves passing a long (very flexible!) tube with a camera at the end down the horse’s oesophagus and into the stomach; allowing the vet to get a clear view of the stomach lining to see if and what type of ulcers may be present.
Gastroscope clinic offer only £120, incl VAT for scope, sedation, and a veterinary report (if your horse is starved at home), for all scopes carried out on the 26th of July. If you would like to bring your horse in the night before to be starved in the clinic, there is an additional £30 charge.
If you’re unsure if your horse is showing signs of gastric ulcers, feel free to contact us and speak to one of the equine vets.
Contact us to book your spot or for more information.

This offer is only available on the 26th of July. If your horse has ulcers and requires medication, you can purchase the medication via HNVG or purchase a written prescription from HNVG and buy the drugs online.
