Issue Date: | 1996 | Journal: | Veterinary Record | Abstract: | A 16-year-old, male, Hanoverian horse had a three-month history of weight loss, hirsutism and polyuria/polydypsia. Examinations revealed neutrophilia, lymphopenia, hyper glycaemia and abnormalities in hepatic function. A tentative diagnosis of hyperadrenocorticism was made. The results of thyroid-releasing hormone and combined dexamethasone suppression and ACTH stimulation tests suggested the presence of a pituitary adenoma. The horse was treated with pergolide and benefical clinical and biochemical responses were observed within one to six months. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/45910 | ISSN: | 0042-4900 | DOI: | 10.1136/vr.139.2.41 | Source: | Veterinary Record [ISSN 0042-4900], v. 139 (2), p. 41-43 |
