Hi, James,

On the basis of Arlo's announcement in vetsurgeon.org (medal please, Arlo) I have forwarded the survey link to several experienced expat vets here and I hope that you will receive some feedback from this part of the World, which is well known to you anyway. [These chaps might even join vetsurgeon.org as a result]

I have not completed the survey myself because, as you know, I am more of a 'cow' man and would not recognise equine Cushings if it rushed in the door and bit me but Good Luck with it.

Tim.

Yes especially as the elderly pony is often a child's beloved 1st pony-so discouraging treats/overfeeding can be next to impossible-that is forgivable-the adult who won't do as told and reduce feeding is totally beyond forgiveness

One question not on the survey is the incidence of laminitis associated with this disease. My clinical impression is that laminitis far outweighs other chronic diseases as a source of poor welfare associated with PPID, is this the impression of others ?

Bump!

I've also added a news story about this survey, here.
