Hi Sandralyn

Welcome.  Our PPID/Cushing's and IR horses can do a lot more than we think if approached slowly with the right support.  His arthritis may be a factor, depending on where it is and how severe.

So we can give you the full DDT+E approach for specific recommendations, can you tell us more?  The best way to do that is through filling out a CasehHisotry.  You need to join our Case History filing cabinet site, ECHisotry8, just like you did here, then fill out the form and upload to a folder. You can join and find instructions here:  ECHistory8
