Gastroparesis in Friesian Horses

The Friesian Advocate

About
In this episode, we discuss gastroparesis in Friesian horses—a condition that is challenging to recognize and can cause potentially life-threatening gastric impaction or fatal gastric rupture. We explore why Friesians may be uniquely predisposed, the early signs owners shouldn’t ignore, how gastroparesis is diagnosed, and diet and management strategies.
