Equine gastric disease (EGD) is a common condition in horses, with a prevalence approaching 100% in certain populations. In experimental studies, in rats, gastric lesion size is a commonly used outcome to measure their response to stress. So what is the link between stress and EGD in horses? This talk will explore that question and help practitioners to consider more than just omeprazole when treating these cases

After the birth of the foal, we are often focused on the neonate, ensuring that it reaches all its milestones in the first 24 hours. In these cases, it is essential to remember that TWO patients are in our care when attending to the neonatal foal. Examination of the broodmare post-partum can often identify critical issues early and improve future breeding outcomes.

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are human antidiabetic drugs that are increasingly used in equine practice for the management of hyperinsulinaemia and hyperinsulinaemia-associated laminitis. However, the understanding of SGLT2i use in horses is in its infancy compared to human medicine. This review article aims to briefly examine the literature in both species, highlighting current knowledge gaps, potential similarities in therapeutic outcomes and possible adverse effects.
