Druse als „neues“ altes Problem in der Pferdegesundheit – Tipps für die Diagnostik

Während vor noch nicht allzu langer Zeit die Druse als typische Jungtiererkrankung angesehen wurde, häufen sich in den letzten Jahren Berichte über betroffene adulte Pferde. Dabei erkranken meist nicht nur Einzeltiere, sondern mehrere bis viele Pferde eines Bestandes. Umso wichtiger ist eine schnelle und korrekte Diagnostik.
