HI, Robin - Are there any clinical studies to back up your statement below? "Something the vets have NOT recognized, but human endricrinologists have & I've proven with my own mare -- do NOT feed

Robin, What a great idea! This FAQ file would be an immense help to all of us I think! I think photos would be helpful too. Since we are so isolated as owners of Cushingoids, and since most vets are

Oh Kay, I am sure that many of us can sympathise with you!! Don't feel bad about sharing here- I think that is one of the great benefits of this list. So many people no nothing about Cushings that it

Hi Everyone, I've put in a plea over on the horseshoer's resource, hopefully one or more of the farrier's there will join us and be able to give some advice. In the meantime, Kay, go post over

I have up and down days also. Over the years I've made big changes to the point of moving to another state to try to deal with the horse problems. [my 13 year old mare broke her leg at 4 from a

Hello Linda, Susan and Paula....and the Rest...boy it's nice to have this list right now, as I am feeling very discouraged with my Cushingoid Domino. Your success stories are giving my a ray of

Hi Chris, I'll talk to my vet about the yucca, Darby is doing so well on it. With this horse each and every day is a gift that I treasure and to see her actually feeling good enough to gallop has
