| + | [[Gastric Ulceration - all species]] |
| + | * Affects the pars oesophagea (margo plicatus) in adults and foals. |
| + | * Due to '''parasites''' - [[Gasterophilus spp.|''Gasterophilus'' (Bots)]]. |
| + | * Bots are not as common as they once were. |
| + | * Look like big pink maggots. |
| + | * Killed by Ivermectin. |
| + | * ''Gasterophilus'' leave large ulcers in glandular regions of the [[Forestomach - Anatomy & Physiology|stomach]]. |
| + | ** Ulcers / erosions are quite deep. |
| + | * The parasites are believed to be non-pathogenic, but in large numbers they probably produce some discomfort and poor growth. |
| + | * Carcinoma can also produce ulceration in the [[Forestomach - Anatomy & Physiology|stomach]] of the horse as, in other species. |
| + | |
| + | * In foals, the glandular area may sometimes be affected. |
| + | ** This may be e.g. stress-related, or due to used of NSAIDs. |
