Cushings, technically known as Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction (PPID) is a hormonal condition caused by dysfunction in the brain. It is not quite the same as the cushings found in humans and dogs.

Cushings occurs when the pituitary gland, located at the base of the brain becomes dysfunctional. Many people believe that cushings is caused by a tumor on the pituitary gland, however this is not always the case and it is actually more often caused by swelling of the pars intermedia portion of the pituitary gland. Cushings is considered a geriatric disease and is most often diagnosed in horses 15-20 years old, although sometimes it occurs in younger horses. Any breed can develop cushings but it is most common in ponies and Morgans.

π‘Ίπ’šπ’Žπ’‘π’•π’π’Žπ’”
The most easily recognized symptom of cushings is hirsuitism. This is when a horse grows a long, curly winter coat that does not shed properly. Other symptoms include:

- Excessive thirst and urination
- Repeated infections and abscesses
- Lethargy
- Muscle loss
- Abnormal fat deposits
- Excessive sweating
- Increased risk of becoming insulin resistant
- Increased risk of laminitis
- Advanced stages have hyper-elasticity leading to dropped fetlocks and swayed backs.

Does this sound like your horse? If so, talk to your veterinarian! They can help you get a diagnosis and treatment plan. Luckily, cushings is very manageable. The horse in this photo had cushings, but it was easily managed with medication and keeping him clipped and cool in the summer.

Horse and Hound Bodyworks

Welcome to Horse and Hound Bodyworks, my name is Jess Trent Smith.

Horse and Hound Bodyworks offers massage and skeletal alignment through stretches for horses and working dogs.

My love for horses started when I was young, my parents always keeping horses and I learnt from a very young age that I wanted to be around them and work with them. My passion for working dogs has developed over the years while I was working in the agricultural industry.

I believe in fostering happy, healthy, hardworking, and well-educated horses and dogs. No matter what discipline you ride your horse in or how many sheep and cattle your dog’s work, we consistently ask these animals to perform at a high level. I aim to improve the longevity and performance of both animals and view my services as a preventative tool to breakdown and injury, while promoting better health and enhancing their performance.
