Hey, Coral,
You've probably seen horses with Cushings, just not known what it was. Ever seen an old horse with long hair, kinda pot bellied, maybe drinking and peeing a lot? That's what comes from Cushings. It's caused by a tumor, so it's not contagious, and it's mostly a management issue in older horses. In a horse this young, though, I assume there's something more the matter and she's likely to lose her horse.
Meanwhile, I've answered her twice on the meds board, and she just posts again. Dunno why she came here to discuss a vet. issue in the first place, but I'm a little peeved she didn't even thank me for taking the time to respond to her.
