Racehorses and sick neonatal foals commonly suffer from gastric ulcers due to the stresses they experience. [http://drupal.thedonkeysanctuary.org.uk/ The Donkey Sanctuary] has found that [[Hyperlipaemia - Donkey|hyperlipaemic]], anorexic donkeys commonly suffer from gastric ulcers which are frequently only diagnosed at ''post-mortem''.

The ''ante-mortem'' diagnosis of gastric ulcers using direct endoscopy is not commonly undertaken in the donkey, as the period of starvation required to make the lesions visible is contra-indicated in the hyperlipaemic or potentially hyperlipaemic donkey. The administration of '''gastro-protectants''', such as omeprazole, may be indicated in any sick or inappetent donkey.
