Dr. O the following question was posted on one of my threads so I reposted it hoping you will be able to answer Lloyd R's question. I have a 5 year old pacing standardbred that is driving me crazy. She continually ties up, for example I brought her in from light jogging today and she was sweating Profusely and could barely walk into her stall. How do I deal with this challenge as she is in very real pain and I cannot race her like this. Is there powerful medication she can race and train on that relieves this challenge and further what causes it in the first place? Lloyd R

Lloyd, have you read the article associated with this forum. You can click on the Rhabdomyolysis: Tying Up, Shivers, PSSM, EPSM link above to read about this condition. To answer your question: no you cannot race a horse experiencing a episode of tying up. It will damage the muscles, assuming you can get the horse to go. DrO
