Hi,
Dr. O could you tell me what this condition is? I have been told not to feed my pony a high fat diet because ponies are susceptible to hyperlipaemia.I have no intention of feeding my pony a high fat diet but wondered what this was.

Hello Kim,
It is not the dietary fat you have to be careful of but excessive body fat. We have an article on this conditioan see, » Equine Diseases » Colic and GI Diseases » Mouth, Esophagus, and Liver » Fatty Liver Disease and Hyperlipidosis.
