Early diagnosis is important. Contact your veterinarian if you notice any of the above signs in your older horse. After a complete examination if your veterinarian suspects PPID he or she may recommend following up with some blood tests to check for the disease. The most common tests to diagnose equine PPID include measuring resting basal ACTH adrenocorticotrophic hormone and fasting insulin level. Studies have indicated success managing the clinical signs of PPID with the drug pergolide mesylate. It acts on the pituitary to ultimately decrease circulating ACTH and other hormone levels. Daily treatment is needed to improve the horses quality of life by reducing disease signs and the risk of other illnesses. Your veterinarian will be able to advise if pergolide mesylate is a treatment option for your horse.
