Off colour and drinking a lot!

[keekee]

Hi I brought my mare back into work November time when I had had my baby iv had her back done and started light hacking then I noticed she was off colour so had vet out and bloods were taken it showed something was at the lower end of normal so she's now on a tonic to boost her vitamins iv carried on riding her and her fitness is quite good now but over the last week she's gone quite again her temp is normal but she's drinking a lot and just looks unhappy I am going to call vet tomorrow would just be interested in what it could be!

Cushings?

Cushings?

And/or Insulin Resistance? You can test for that yourslef (in a fairly rudimentary fashion) if you get some dip strips and dip a urine sample. High levels of glucose are bad news but you can cut down sugars and starches in her diet which will help.

Oh blimey that sounds scary I think I will just ask vet to check for everything!!!! She's insured if it was cushings is it easily controlled?
