Welcome back to A Stride Above! In today’s episode, Dr. Alberto Rullan discusses Equine Rhabdomyolysis, commonly known as “tying up” or the “Monday morning disease.” This condition can essentially leave horses extremely tight and sometimes unable to move, leading to concerns about muscle breakdown.

In this episode you’ll learn about:
• What Equine Rhabdomyolysis is and how it affects horse muscle function, causing stiffness and immobility.
• All the various types of tying up, ranging from severe cases where horses can’t move to milder cases with slight stiffness.
• What treatment options are available, including IV fluids, anti-inflammatories, and sedation to help manage severe cases.
• How taking preventative measures, including stress reduction strategies and medications like dantrolene, can help manage the risk of this condition.
