Gastric Ulcers

What Causes Gastric Ulcers?

Gastric ulcers (equine gastric ulcer syndrome) are common in all horses. Research has shown that nearly 60 percent of performance horses have stomach ulcers (Merck & Co., Merck Veterinary Manual, pg 218). Ulcers can be caused from stress, or inflammation due to gastric acid in the stomach.

Abscesses

What Causes An Abscess?

An abscess is an accumulation of pus (which are simply dead white blood cells) that have formed a lump internally or externally on the horse’s body. An abscess occurs because of an infection and can begin with a wound, nail in the hoof, strangles, or penetration of the skin or hoof with a foreign object.

How Can PEMF Help?

Managing a horse’s hoof abscess with MagnaWave may help expedite the recovery process. PEMF is non-invasive, requires no downtime, and is drug-free. PEMF is said to stimulate good oxygenation, improve blood flow, and decrease pain, which can help your horse recover from a hoof abscess.
