Gunnar was scoped and found to have ulcers in December.  He had a rating of 2 
out of 4 being mild.  He was on gastroguard for a month and then a maintenance 
treatment for a month.  Guess what, he is now colicing almost every other day.  
I have an appointment on Thursday to get re -scoped and check out more.
   
  Gunnar has pasture available at anytime.  No training since owning him and 
has had no riding since October since colic started more frequent.  He has a 
very mellow life with no threats or stress we can find.  One thing is his colic 
is ALWAYS at 7:00 am.  He has food available when ever wanted and three times a 
day feeding of Timothy grass.
   
  Any ideas would help for trying to figure this out.
   
  Gunnar is a 11 yr old gelding, with a pasture mate, had andyhrosis 
(non-sweater) through the summer.  Lives in Colorado with freezing winter 
temps-seems very happy about that.  All blood tests seem normal so far.  X-ray 
showed some sand but very little and has been treated for.  Colic started 7 
months after moving here from Canada.  No history of problems
   
  Thanks,
  Rene'
