【 摘 要 】

Equine gastric ulcer syndrome is especially reported in racing horses, with a prevalence of 60-90% in adults and 25-50% in foals. The ethiology of equine gastric ulcer is polifactorial, represented by nutritional factors, stress generated by training and captivity, drugs (corticosteroids-prednisolone, dexametasone, nesteroidicanti-inflammatory drugs: flumixin-meglumine, fenilbutazone), duodenal refluence. The diagnosis is established on clinical signs and therapeutic response and it is confirmed by endoscopic exam. Therapeutically it is recommended to administer: antiacide (aluminiu hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide), inhibitors of H2 receptors(cimetidine, ranitidine, famotidine), inhibitors of protons pump (Omeprazol), Sucralphate. Diagnosis and therapeutic aspects in equine gastric ulcer syndrome are presented in this study.
