Vet Question - Ridecamp

["Carolyn Burgess" <carolyn_burgess@hotmail.com>]

You asked about the horse that pees alot.  While it may be nothing more than 
your horse likes to drink alot, this is a symptom of Cushing's disease.  
Does your horse have any of the following: large, cresty neck or other fatty 
deposits; excesive water drinking; voracious appetite; seems to thrive on a 
minimal amount of food, or is very fat on a normal amount of food; 
laminitis; cranky or sullen disposition; long and shaggy coat or failure to 
shed?  These are all symptoms of Cushing's.
