In this excerpt from the March 2020 episode ( • Ask the Vet - Boots in... ) of Ask the Vet, Dr. Gray and SmartPaker Dan go deep on PSSM Types 1 and 2. They talk about the differences in the types, which type is better/worse for a horse to have (if there is such a thing), the breeds of horses that are typically affected by each type, how a veterinarian diagnoses it, and one excellent resource to visit if you want to know more about PSSM in horses.
