:yes:
FYI-No info on the label
The stuff arrived…no ingredient list on the label, no nutritional analysis. The owner is on vacation so I am NOT going to administer it to her horse until she is back-who knows how he’ll react to whatever is in there???
So it doesn’t say 100% Sea Buckthorn berry or anything like that? Makes me wonder if it has fillers. I would be concerned about my horse having an allergy to a filler. Without it saying one way or another it makes me wonder.
I wouldn’t want to give it either. I’d let the owner administer and watch her horse to be sure it doesn’t have a reaction to the solution. I imagine he hasn’t been in Asia chomping on the Sea Buckthorn berries anytime in his life so this will be a first exposure.
Any update on the Seabuckthorn? I’m very curious. Is the horse feeling any better?
Horse wouldn’t eat it. Took one mouthful, spit it out and that was it 
Not to be mean, but I didn’t think it was a good idea in the first place. The horse is currently eating so the owner is not doing anything to treat the ulcer. I suspect she will wait until he goes off his grain again…:no:
Having just gone through our first ulcer, do the 30 days of Gastrogard then move on to lecithin. I have thread on lecithin that’s already started. It’s been fascinating how it’s worked for my horse.

If you show be sure to check the legality of the product. I asked when I was going to attend the AEC last year and was told it would test.
Current thoughts on Seabuckthorn extract?
I’m interested to see if there is anyone currently using SeaBuckthorn oil (or if they’ve tried it in the past) for treatment of gastric ulcers.
My vet scoped my horse, found an ulcer, put him on 28 days of full tube of Gastrogard, followed by 1/2 tube for 2 weeks. He recommended I look into Seabuckthorn extract, as he’s had other clients who are using it and think it works. He’s a very reputable vet, so I trust his judgement… but would like to hear some firsthand accounts. Thanks!
I am not sure about effects of Seabuckthorn on horses, but back in Russia it has always been among first treatments for ulcers in humans. In fact, my mom is very successfully treating her ulcers with seabuckthorn oil. They also make sweet various preserves out berries, which are very yummy 
Seabuckhors oil is also very good for treating burns. There is also a bunch of things its used for, which I am not able to translate. Its very well knows and often used and recommeded by doctors.
Do any of you have any updates on the results of using Seabuck?
Oh wow, just realized how old this thread was. I’m actually going to plant some this year, at the recommendation of my Russian teacher. They use it for many cures, but I do agree that I’m not sure I’d assume it would be better at curing ulcers in horses.
I started my horse on this a few weeks ago. His next scope isn’t for a few months, but I’ll let everyone know if it does anything for him.

Tazycat, this is the information I read. My horse has glandular ulcers which this product helped. I just started week 2. I’ll let everyone know how mu horse makes out!
Please do let us know how it works for your horse. Dealing with ulcers in one of mine it’s oh so frustrating when treatment isn’t seeming to help a ton.
Same. Mine had had pyloric ulcers for 21 months. We’ve literally tried everything else, so why not give this a shot.

My goal is to try and set everything up so that my horse is not uncomfortable and to support the area and hopefully heal it. Omeprazole I believe is ruining her hind gut so she has to come off of it. I talked to a friend yesterday who’s Vet told her to use aloe juice as a support while her horse was on medications that are tough on the gut. I also bought some ranitidine. I am only introducing one thing at a time so I get an idea of what may or may not work. If I can support her GI tract and keep things from getting worse and keep her comfortable without the Omeprazole that is my goal. I should add that my use of Ranitidine would be limited to an hour before I trailer her in addition to something that would soothe the gut. Also comma possibly sucralfate before anything that may be stressful. I hope to get her back to a more normal way of living.
