šŸ‚šŸ“ FALL IS HEREā€”LETā€™S TALK ABOUT EQUINE CUSHINGā€™S!

Is your horse slow to shed, losing topline, acting less energetic, or not sweating? These changes may be more than ā€œjust getting older.ā€

PPID (pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction), commonly called equine Cushingā€™s disease, is a progressive hormonal disorder that affects the pituitary gland.

šŸ WHY TEST IN THE FALL?

ACTHā€”the hormone measured when testing for PPIDā€”naturally rises in late summer and fall. Horses with PPID often have a more pronounced rise, making fall a useful time to investigate suspected disease. At Payne Equine, we interpret results using seasonally appropriate ranges and your horseā€™s clinical signs.

šŸ“ WHICH HORSES ARE AT RISK?

ā€¢ Older horses and ponies, especially those over 15.
ā€¢ Horses of any breed, whether retired or still actively competing.
ā€¢ Horses as young as 10 can be affected, particularly when suspicious signs are present.
ā€¢ Older horses with recurrent laminitis, unexplained muscle loss, or repeated infections deserve evaluation.

šŸ”Ž SIGNS TO WATCH FOR:

ā€¢ Delayed shedding or a long, sometimes curly hair coat.
ā€¢ Loss of muscle and topline, sometimes with a potbellied appearance.
ā€¢ Decreased energy or performance.
ā€¢ Excessive sweating/Not sweaiting enough
ā€¢ Increased drinking and urination.
ā€¢ Recurrent infections or slow wound healing.
ā€¢ Laminitis, foot soreness, or a reluctance to move.

Early signs can be subtleā€”you donā€™t have to wait for a long, curly coat to ask about testing!

šŸ’Š HOW IS PPID TREATED?

ā€¢ Daily pergolide is the primary treatment.
ā€¢ Follow-up examinations and blood testing help guide treatment.
ā€¢ Individualized nutrition, hoof care, dental care, and parasite control support overall health.
ā€¢ Insulin testing may also be recommended, especially with laminitis, because elevated insulin requires additional management.

PPID has no cure, but treatment and thoughtful management can improve clinical signs and quality of life.

šŸ“… SCHEDULE YOUR HORSEā€™S FALL PPID EVALUATION WITH PAYNE EQUINE!

If your horse is over 15 or showing any of these changes, contact Payne Equine to schedule an appointment and discuss screening. Weā€™ll assess your horse and recommend the most appropriate testing.

Donā€™t dismiss changes as age aloneā€”letā€™s give your horse the care they deserve. šŸ“

Getting to the bottom of whatā€™s happening with your horse is our main priority. At Payne Equine, we believe itā€™s just as important for you, as the owner, to understand whatā€™s happening with your horse and why weā€™re recommending a particular course of care.

Client communication is something we truly value. We want you to feel informed, heard, and confident in your horseā€™s care every step of the way. From explaining diagnostic findings to discussing treatment options and what to expect during recovery, our goal is to keep you involved and make sure you have a clear understanding of your horseā€™s health.

Because when you understand whatā€™s happening, we can work together to make the best-informed decisions for your horse.
