Confirming a diagnosis of Cushing’s disease in horses isn’t always easy. Symptoms usually develop gradually and can be similar to other ailments, making it easy to miss or mistake for something else. Many of the signs are subtle at first and can be mistaken for normal aging or other health conditions, leading to a delayed diagnosis. This slow progression is why regular monitoring of older horses is crucial. Recognising the symptoms early can lead to management techniques more effectively improving a horse’s quality of life.
