If your horse has been treated with an SGLT2 inhibitor (Ertugliflozin, Canagliflozin, Dapagliflozin or similar), they might be eligible to participate in a new study. 

SGLT2i are human antidiabetic medications that are prescribed with increasing frequency to horses to treat and prevent laminitis associated with high insulin concentrations. However, there is limited data on the long-term effects of these medications in horses.  

Murdoch University in Western Australia is conducting a study to document owner satisfaction and side-effects in horses and ponies treated with SGLT2 inhibitors.

The online survey takes 5 minutes to complete, and your responses will allow researchers to collect data to better understand the use of SGLT2 inhibitors in horses. Your experiences will help direct future research to improve the welfare of laminitic horses and ponies. All surveys are completely anonymous.   

This research has human ethics approval from Murdoch University (Permit 2023/057).
