Exertional Rhabdomyolysis
Exertional
Rhabdomyolysis (ER) is a condition in horses resulting in
muscle twitching and cramping, typically revolving around
sessions of training or physical exertion. (download pdf)
Easy Keepers
Overweight
horses are often challenging since they must be limited in
the amounts they are fed each day because they gain weight
so easily. Overweight
horses are susceptible to digestive upset due to complications
with digestion, absorption or utilization of starch and sugars. In
addition, these horses are sometimes affected by other metabolic
conditions such as Insulin Resistance or Cushing’s Syndrome. (download pdf)
Kidney Failure/Dysfunction
Kidney
failure/dysfunction in horses is not a common condition but,
when it does occur, nutritional adjustments must be made.
The diet needs to be built to limit the need to filter excessive
nutrients, but still supply the essential nutritional needs
of the horse to be healthy in their daily lives. (download

PSSM/EPSM Horses
Polysaccharide
Storage Myopathy (or Equine Polysaccharide Storage Myopathy)
is a genetic condition in horses affecting normal glucose
and glycogen metabolism. Clinical symptoms include
muscle soreness of the hindquarter or back, stiffness, tying
up and muscle atrophy. (download pdf)
Laminitic Horses
Laminitis,
an inflammation of the laminae of the foot, is a common condition
resulting from a number of internal and external causes. Conditions
associated with laminitis include colic, diarrhea, pneumonia,
metritis from retained placenta, endocrine conditions like
Cushings and Insulin Resistance and Equine Metabolic Syndrome
and musculoskeletal problems resulting in altered loading
of the supporting limb. (download pdf)
Horses with Muscle Loss
Unlike
many other conditions found is horses, muscle loss or atrophy
is predominantly controlled through diet. Muscle loss/atrophy
can be cause by many things, including poor diet, neuromuscular
conditions or advancing age. (download pdf)
Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic
Syndrome is a condition in horses with abnormal amounts and
locations of adipose tissue. Horses with Metabolic
Syndrome also tend to have other symptoms, such as Insulin
Resistance. (download pdf)
Insulin Resistance
Insulin
Resistance (IR) is a symptom of horses suffering from various
conditions, including Cushing’s Syndrome, Metabolic
Syndrome and other Grain Associated Disorders. Horses
with Insulin Resistance require a higher than normal level
of circulating insulin to maintain normal or near normal
circulating blood glucose levels. Evidence indicates
IR predisposes horses and ponies to laminitis. (download

HYPP
Hyperkalemic
Periodic Paralysis (HYPP) is a genetic condition affecting
the transport of ions across cellular membranes. Clinic
symptoms include third eye-lid prolapse, increased respirations,
muscle twitching and tying up, especially affecting the muscle
of the hindquarters causing “dog-sitting”. (download
pdf)
Cushing’s
Equine Cushing’s Syndrome
is a complex condition involving hyperplasia or adenoma of
the anterior pituitary gland, resulting in many biochemical
alterations within the body. These symptoms are far reaching
and include hirsutism with no hair loss during the summer,
laminitis, weight problems (either overweight or underweight),
lowered immunity to parasites or infections, decreased intestinal
wall integrity and infertility. (download pdf)
