The risk of developing PPID significantly increases with age. TAL research shows that a horse aged 15-20 is three times more likely to have PPID than a horse under 10. A horse of 20-25 is six times more likely, a horse of 25-30 is 10 times more likely.
You can pro-actively identify PPID in your veteran patients by offering a free* annual ACTH test to patients aged 15 and over during the TAL campaign.
Until the 31st October we’re offering FREE CUSHING’S LAB TEST FEE* FOR HORSES
Past ‘Talk about Laminitis’ test results show that you should look out for any of these clinical signs in your horse:
- Laminitis
- Abnormal or delayed moulting
- Muscle wastage
- Periorbital fat (fat round the eyes)
- Increased drinking and urinating
