Sorry Lynda, the daylight hours was with specific reference to Cushingoid horses... the symptoms are much worse during the winter months (shorter daylight hours) and they seem to get the most cases in Jan/Feb.
Some Cushingoid ponies (that haven't had Lami I assume) can come off meds during the summer months as the symptoms almost dissapear
That's really interesting about the daylight hours. Wonder if that is a widely know theory? Be good for people to get hold of the light lamps for their cushings horses/ponies.
Bet you are on tenterhooks waiting for the results, fingers crossed for you .

He's feeling much better thank you! Bounced out of his box on Friday and has been a complete nuisance ever since he he! His stable mirror has been installed and he is completely in love! Wish I would have got him one before (he never showed much interest in Pasha's) - even left his hay to go and have a snooze next to his best chum! So so sweet!
Going to speak to the vet tomorrow but I like to air on the side of caution so think he'll be in all next week whilst I ease him off his 1 Danillon a day and also want him to see the farrier before he's let lose!
Glad to hear shesky is feeling better and is enjoying his reflective friend! How long will he have been on box rest now? tillys is due to finish tomorrow but iv been reading on the internet about once being sound continue with box rest for a month but im not sure whether this applys to low grade lami as well??? x
He would have been in 12 days on Friday when the vet comes back - he was in 5 weeks last time, but then he had full blown Lami... Will have to wait and see what the vet says!
It's not the Ligament :( Can't quite believe it!
