How can I cure cushings disease?
My elderly horse has a disease called Cushings. For those of you who don’t know what that is, it’s when she doesn’t shed out all of her winter coat in the summer. It’s left over dead ugly brown hair on her sides. It makes her look horrid, and she is a beautiful horse. Does anyone know any treatments to help her shed out in the summer?
there is no REAL fix for chushings … you can shave off the exsess hair in the summer … in the winter its not really an issue … old horse is like an old dog … it comes with old age and there is nothing to really do
No real cure but there is treatment. Mostly medicine prescribed but there has been studies shown that the herb Chaste Berry (Vitex) has been very helpful. Other things to do would be:
-Avoiding stressing the horse. The hormonal profile of many horses with Cushing’s already indicates high stress levels, so reducing stress is critical. -Providing a safe, comfortable “sanctuary” for the horse. -Sticking to a strict routine, which will help minimize stress. -Keeping water and feed conveniently located and in the same place. -Clipping the horse in warm weather; using blankets when it is cold. -Keeping up grooming to minimize skin diseases. -Keeping hooves in good shape. -Checking teeth regularly and having them checked by a professional twice a year. -Avoiding turning the horse out with aggressive horses. -Avoiding contact with horses from a new location. -Keeping immunizations to a minimum/ making sure all necessary shots are given. -Deworming regularly (usually every 30 – 45 days). -Providing an appropriate diet for the horse. This will usually involve elimination of simple carbohydrates.
Okay so I don’t have a horse with crushing but I do have one and he is 26 so he is getting up there. Do you feed her equine senior?…do you feed her sun flower seeds? I know it helps there cots! I mean if you go look at my pics you can see that his cot isn’t bad at all!. I don’t know if any of the 2 things will help its just a guess.
You should talk to your vet.
