My 15 year old gelding has Cushings. ACTH test was 140 and is now in normal range - currently on 1 tablet of Prascend. He has just come down with laminitis for the first time ever! He is ok and its not bad, but obviously I am worried for him. The vet wants to test for EMS which obviously is fine with me, however, I have read that treatment and management involves exercise. Here lies my problem. William is currently on rehab for a hind leg annular ligament desmotomy done at Newmarket a few weeks ago. I am supposed to be up to 40 minutes walk twice a day which is now none existent. What difference to EMS does exercise make? I have no idea how the leg will fair up now the walking has stopped and feel in a bit of a lose/lose situation.
Any thoughts/opinions/experiences are much appreciated.
Thanks
