If you have spotted any of the clinical signs that may be associated with Cushing’s disease in your horse, then finding out if your horse or pony has this condition is an important first step. Fill in the form below to claim a complimentary diagnostic test (ACTH test) to support your vet in diagnosing this disease.
Your horse is not eligible for this test if they are already on veterinary treatment for Cushing’s disease.
Once you have submitted your details a voucher code will be sent to your email address. This voucher code can be redeemed by presenting it to your veterinary surgeon.
On registering for a complimentary diagnostic test (known as an ACTH test) you will automatically be given membership to Care About Cushing’s: an online platform especially designed to support owners of horses with Equine Cushing’s disease.
