Good Video but, what i want to know is what about the chronic hoof abscesses. What can be done as antibiotics don't help.. The horse I'm talking about has chronic drainage from the upper hoof line.

I volunteer at a donkey sanctuary and quiet few that are in 20s have cushings there coat become matted as a result of the long hair it more noticeable in the summer when all the donkeys tend to lose their winter coat.

I think it would be kind to trim that horse's forelock out of hid eyes.

Angel is such Angel 😇

Can a two year old stallion get it

Hi, do horses have to be older to get cushings?

I'm a barefoot trimmer, and it's my understanding that in addition to increasing age, stress factors (such as chronic physical pain and even long term psychological stress) may also trigger Cushing's in younger horses. It's been described elsewhere as an enlargement of a part of the pituitary gland due to changes in the hypothalamus, which results in hormonal imbalance and subsequent symptoms of a long/thick (perhaps curly) non-shedding coat and weight/muscle loss particularly over the topline. Cushing's may occur with or without equine metabolic syndrome (EMS, aka insulin resistance or IR). The latter generally results in a strong tendency to obesity and the odd fat deposits mentioned in this video. So diets recommended for Cushing's horses would differ from those which also have EMS/IR. Hope these comments help and are reasonably accurate!

my 10 year old has it

I thought it would be much more in depth. I have a horse that's been diagnosed with PPID (previously known as Cushings). Was hoping you'd get into the medication and how the horse reacts to it. My horse was on Prascend but she stopped eating for 16 days so the vet and I took her off and put her back on the liquid Pergolide even though the FDA approved is recommended. The vet said the liquid works just fine. It's compounded.

Hi Janet how have you made out with treating the Cushing? My mare just got diagnosed with it and went through some eating issues with eating her apple and carrots and her grain, it was going on for close to 2 months I eventually had to drop her from a full prascend a day to half a pill to get her to eat her grain apples and carrots but it took over a month. She was eating hay though

@@johnwalsh3215 my mare passed away last December from possible embolism of stomach. I don’t think it was related to the PPID. She was 35 yo. She did fine when we put her back on the liquid Pergolide

@@johnwalsh3215 Prascend is known for making horses go off their feed. Maybe your horse could do without the grain, apples and carrots so she could get a fully prescribed med. Maybe you could try liquid Pergolide if it is legal in your state.

@@JanetOrt so sorry you lost your mare! 35 years is a long life though but I know it’s not long enough! My mare is a thoroughbred so she has to have grain, they need those calories from it. My vet said she’s never seen a horse go to the extremes my mare did with the not eating grain the way she did so we cut her down to a half dose and that brought the levels of ppid way down from in the 430 range to 180 or so. We’re not having the problems we were having so it’s helping a lot! It’s just funny how she stopped eating the things she loves most, she was still eating hay fine! The vet said it’s common for a horse to lose their appetite for 2-3 weeks but not like she did until we took her off a full dose and then about another month to get her back up the the amount of grain she normally gets! Some weight loss there! I was just wondering if other people had issues that bad and if they found anything else that works as well as prascend is supposed to work, the vets in my area that I’ve talked to all prescribe prascend. It’s nice to know what works for other people just as a possible option if issues start coming back and it seems she’s not going to tolerate a full dose
