Muscle Tremor Disorder in Horses

Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis

Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis (HYPP) is a type of muscle disorder that is normally found in the American Quarter Horse breed. Initially, the disease seems has similar symptoms to other muscular disorders, but it is actually very different and is caused by a variety of factors. Anyone who owns a horse of the American Quarter breed — or a horse that has been crossbred with the American Quarter — should know what HYPP is and how to recognize it in order to seek immediate veterinary care.
