Kim: You are absolutely correct to research the subject of sedating your old friend (as you should with anything that is to be done to him). I recently had my old guy worked on by the dentist (who is

Hello and welcome, Sharon...I have a 22 yr old Cushinoid Appendix QH gelding who was diagnosed a year ago, although he had symptoms for the previous 2 years. It seems that horses vary in their

Again, from another bb, someone mentioned a pony that resides at a zoo and is being treated for Cushings. They said the odd thing is that his Thyroid is enlarged, and that he's had symptoms

Hi Kay, Thanks for your information. Very much appreciated, I cannot imagine how you must have felt when a sedative had to be administered knowing about the heart block, this is what scares me most.

Hi Kim, I can only speak as an owner and from my own experience, but my Cushingoid 22 yr. old gelding has done fine with sedation. There hasn't been any apparent difference in his reaction to it pre-

For whatever the information is worth... My Cushinoid mare, Tina (Night Flight) is now 29 years old, diagnosed with Cushings symptomatically (wouldn't ovulate & didn't shed out) about 5 years ago.

I'm really curious how things have gone for both of you... weren't you both planning on seeing your vets here in the recent past? Robin Desert Springs Sport
