Dr.O

I have a 20 year old gelding that has the thickest longest coat I have ever seen on a horse. I think thyroid is a possability - generally what are the signs and symptoms? This horse has all the energy in the world so maybe I'm wrong or perhaps hypothyroidism is a possibility rather then hyper.

I think Equine Cushing's disease is most likely Maria, see the article Equine Diseases » Endocrine Disorders » Cushing's SynDrOme and Pituitary Tumors. YOu will find articles on thyroid diseases on the Endocrine Disorder page.
