Muscle Disease Update

Does your horse suffer from episodes of “tying-up” where the muscles become swollen and/or stiff? There is a new test available for a genetic condition that can predispose certain horses to this problem. While it is more common in Quarter Horses or Draft breeds, other horses can be affected as well. If you have specific questions about your horse’s condition, please call us and we can talk with you about the different tests available. There are some new treatment options as well.
