Why is PPID / Cushing’s Serious?

If left untreated, it can lead to laminitis, chronic infections, muscle wasting, weight loss, increased risk of colic and metabolic complications

Most horses have PPID for years before showing obvious symptoms. Early detection is critical to improve quality of life and slow disease progression.
