Good thing to watch for during the fall as well due to the seasonal onset in early developing cases 🧐

Know the signs of Cushing’s Disease, or Equine PPID, to protect your horse. An abnormal haircoat or signs of laminitis could mean PPID. Not seeing regular seasonal shedding, or noticing a lighter in colour, longer or curly haircoat could all be signs of Cushing’s Disease in horses.

Another watch-out is laminitis, an inflammation inside the hoof. Half of the horses affected by Cushing’s experience laminitis, and it can become extremely painful and debilitating.

Other signs? Fat deposits around the horse’s neck and eyes, sunken shoulders, a prominent spine and lethargy or lower athletic performance.

Keep an eye out for these signs of Equine PPID, so that you can seek treatment early.
