In this talk we will discuss the gastric effects many primary large bowel colics, including the effects of colonic distension on gastric motility and emptying, and physical gastric emptying obstruction secondary to large colon displacement. We will also discuss the gastric effects of refluxing, and managing the stomach of horses post episodes of gastric reflux.

We will discuss indications and options for using injectable omeprazole, as well as gastroprotectants, prostaglandin analogues, and motility modulators.
