Hello!
My 20 year old trak x arab mare will be tested for cushings in the next few days as she has a few pointers that she may be heading that way.
Just wondering what your experiences are of management of cushings horses. I live in Italy and I think people are rather less aware of this disease for some reason, I had to request the test and my vet then had to find out what the test entails, so I gather it's something that's not done very often.
I've found alot out on the web about the symptoms but not alot about what she'll have in the way of medication and management IF she's positive.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
