Dr Tony Drew recently removed a large and aggressive SCC from the left eye of this pony. Whilst the eye was saved, treatment had been left too long and her vision is now impaired. If you notice any unusual growths or lesions in or around your horses eye, it is very important to have them checked as a matter of priority.

Does My Horse Have Cushings Disease?

Pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID) is a benign tumour of the pituitary gland located at the base of the brain. The tumour effects the horse’s hormonal regulation which results in increased cortisol levels that negatively impacts their body in a number of ways.

Symptoms include: excessive hair growth / curly coat, weight loss, cresty neck, excessive body fat and a risk of laminitis, among other things.

During Autumn, the levels of the hormone plasma adrenocorti cotropin, (ACTH) will peak so it is an ideal time to run a blood test on your horse to establish if they have Cushings Disease. Unfortunately there is no cure for this condition, it can only be managed by medication for the rest of your horses life.

If you suspect your horse may have Cushings Disease, please contact our office on 4577-4611 to make an appointment for a blood test to be taken. Insulin dysregulation (Equine Metabolic Syndrome or EMS), can appear similar and an insulin test may be worthwhile also.
