J L Becht, T D Byars

    Equine Veterinary Journal
    |July 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Gastroduodenal ulceration is a significant foal disease, often linked to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Research explores causes, clinical signs, and treatments for foal stomach ulcers.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Equine Health
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Gastroduodenal ulceration is an emerging health concern in foals.
    • Pathogenesis is presumed similar to human peptic disease, involving hydrogen ion back diffusion.
    • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use is the only proven cause, though infectious causes are suspected.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the aetiopathogenesis, clinical syndromes, and therapeutic approaches for gastroduodenal ulceration in foals.
    • To highlight the need for further research into foal ulcer causes and treatments.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of existing studies on foal gastroduodenal ulceration.
    • Analysis of clinical syndromes and therapeutic strategies.
    • Discussion of diagnostic challenges and treatment efficacies.

    Main Results:

    • Four clinical syndromes are identified: silent, active, perforating, and obstructive ulcers.
    • Common treatments include antacids, histamine H2 receptor antagonists, and sucralfate.
    • Efficacy and safety of many treatments in foals remain unevaluated.

    Conclusions:

    • Gastroduodenal ulceration presents diverse clinical syndromes in foals.
    • Current therapies aim to reduce acidity and protect the mucosa, but require further validation.
    • Perforating ulcers have a poor prognosis, while obstructive ulcers may require surgical intervention.
