I have s horse who I’ve posted about before and was advised a cushings test due to the symptoms i was seeing is being tested this week.
I hadn’t done it sooner as he did seem to improve for a time and a friend rode him finding him no different to how he’s always been. However more recently again I’m wondering so the vets coming on Thursday.
Obviously if needed he will get the treatment but I’ve recently seen posts on Facebook about people stopping giving precsand due to horrible side effects. I also have a companion blue X pony who I was told had cushings diagnosed years ago but didn’t get on at all well on treatment so wasn’t to have it. (He’s fine, I’m not even sure what prompted testing him!)
So I’m a bit worried, what are these horrible side effects? Will the good out weigh the bad? If it’s going to work/not work how soon will I be able to tell?
