panting and heat and cushings
|
Can a horse in no work that just stays in his breezeway stall due to blindness, pant just because of uncontrolled cushings? ( it his hot.. 90 plus degrees in so cal.) I know cold/heat regulation is affected by cushings.. I'm not sure if panting w/o sweating can be another sign of uncontrolled ppid... ( Jesse never panted so I have no experience with lack of cushings control and panting..

I did a panting search on ecir.. 9 hits came up, but I didnt see any info. Plenty of info on panting and dogs. not much on the web either, related to panting and cushings

I can't speak to the panting,with so few details. But I've had 2 blind horses .They were able to be out with their friends. Maybe this horse would benefit from being able to move around. We need to move this to Horsekeeping if the 'blindness' issue is continued. There are also several groups for Blind Horses.

It sounds like he's panting because of anhidrosis, inability to sweat and therefore inability to cool himself normally. Anhidrosis can be a symptom of PPID but can also occur without it.
