Diagnostic and management protocols for equine Cushing's syndrome

Catherine Mcgowan 1

1 The Australian College of Veterinary Scientists in equine medicine.

EQUINE Cushing's syndrome is a common problem in aged horses and ponies. It presents with a variable combination of clinical signs; hirsutism is characteristic of the disease, with laminitis frequently being the most devastating consequence. This article describes the diagnostic protocols available and, in view of the fact that complete resolution of the disease is not achievable, discusses how the condition might be managed appropriately to improve the quality of life of affected animals.
