Cushing's disease, aka Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction (PPID), is an endocrine disorder commonly occurring in older horses. This happens when the pituitary gland overproduces hormones, causing the Cushing’s disease symptoms.
A long, curly coat that doesn't shed properly, excessive drinking and urination, laminitis, muscle reduction, and a pot-bellied appearance are common symptoms.
Horses with Cushing's disease can also have recurrent infections and poor performance.
To diagnose this disease your vet will perform a clinical examination as well as specific blood tests, such as the dexamethasone suppression test or measuring ACTH levels. Veterinarians may also use medical imaging or additional endocrine tests.
There is currently no known cure for Cushing's disease, but it can be managed effectively with medication and proper care. Our Cushing’s Plus remedy is a great additional support alongside veterinary care.
Management typically involves medication, making adjustments to the horse’s diet, and providing regular veterinary care. Horses with Cushing's disease should have regular health checks, including their weight, hoof condition, and overall wellbeing. Additional support can be provided with our Cushings Plus remedy to help support symptoms in your equine friend.
Unfortunately, Cushing’s disease can cause some long-term effects in horses if untreated. These include chronic laminitis, recurrent infections, and overall decline in health and performance. Although with proper management, many horses can live comfortably for many years with Cushing’s Disease.
The information provided in these FAQs serves only as general information and we encourage you to work closely with your medical practitioner or veterinarian for professional advice.
