Equine Cushing’s disease, or Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction (PPID), is an endocrine disorder in horses caused by the degeneration of dopamine-producing nerve cells, leading to excessive ACTH and cortisol levels. This hormonal imbalance results in symptoms such as abnormal hair growth, increased drinking and urination, weight loss, and a higher risk of laminitis.
