:Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders—such as Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS), acute and chronic colic, colitis and fecal water—are common in the equine patient and often challenging for both general equine practitioners as well as holistic veterinarians. This presentation addresses holistic approaches, combining acupuncture and herbal treatment, as well as optimizing nutrition and husbandry conditions, and Western medicine to diagnose and treat gastrointestinal pathologies. Real-life patients' case records are discussed in the oral presentation to link theoretical knowledge and practical experience. Special emphasis is given to analyzing the way to find the most likely Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) diagnosis and selecting appropriate point combinations and herbal formulas.
