Cushings |
Equine Cushings disease is caused
by a tumor in the pituitary gland, which is responsible for
the production and regulation of hormones. Symptoms include
a long, shaggy coat that does not shed, excessive drinking and
urination, laminitis, a tendency for recurring infections in
the hoof (foot abscesses), and a loss of muscle mass, especially
along the topline and rump. |

| WNV
in Mares & Foals |
The question was raised about a link between the
WNV and abortions in equines. A retrospective study by the University

| 5
Lessons from a Long Shot |
Like many, I watched the Belmont Stakes hoping
to see the first Triple Crown in 24 years. Instead, I saw
the 70-1 long shot, Sarava, appear from nowhere to win. We
should take heart from this unlikely victory. |
