 The SUCCEED® FBT aids the veterinarian’s diagnosis of GI tract conditions in horses.
|
There are a number of possible causes for excessive occult blood in a horse’s manure. Knowing it’s there is the first step in identifying the right one.
Knowing whether the source of the occult blood is in the foregut or the hindgut can help your veterinarian make a more accurate diagnosis, more quickly. The SUCCEED® FBT is the only reliable method for detecting occult fecal blood from anywhere along the GI tract, and distinguishing foregut from hindgut sources.
A positive test result with the SUCCEED® FBT means an issue has been identified, either in the foregut, the hindgut or both. The specific condition that produced the occult blood in the manure may include gastric or colonic ulcers, heavy parasitism, or lesions caused by hard feed or other objects. Your veterinarian can use the results of the SUCCEED® FBT in conjunction with other diagnostic methods to make a complete diagnosis.
The SUCCEED® FBT may also be a valuable resource to aid in monitoring blood loss following colic surgery, or as part of a pre-purchase exam. |
