An important webinar in my view. I've spoken to many people about early detection of PPID (aka) Cushings and not being picked up via ACTH testing. I've mentioned the TRH stimulation test that is required to be done in winter and gives a more accurate diagnose for early onset PPID that ACTH testing did not pick up.
For those that have horses moving into mid teens this webinar would be a great education tool.

Horses exhibiting early signs may well have early PPID but often test negative for ACTH, an insensitive test, missing 35 to 40+% of early cases. That's a lot of cases. ECIR Group recommends testing and careful monitoring of subtle changes.
Horses previously diagnosed as PPID need to be followed to ensure their disease is managed and insulin is controlled. High insulin often can be driven by PPID and should be especially noted in the typical non-metabolic breeds. ECIR Group recommends endocrinopathic (metabolic) testing and a careful assessment of clinical signs. Learn details at our next live webinar:

Cold temperatures can trigger severe hoof pain in some horses, a condition coined "Winter Laminitis". However, there is no evidence that this is an inflammatory condition and typically there are no radiographic changes. So what is this syndrome and how should it be managed?
