Description
Laminitis is a common but serious condition that involves separation of the laminae, which connects the coffin bone to the hoof wall.
A bout of laminitis can cause mild to severe pain in affected horses and result in lasting damage to the hooves. In extreme cases, the condition can result in permanent lameness and lead to the horse being euthanized.
With prompt treatment and appropriate rehabilitation, the majority of horses recover from laminitis and can return to light work within two to three months.
Careful management of your horse’s nutrition and health is critical to preventing laminitis from recurring. Here, we discuss how to best support the recovery of a laminitic horse to help them return to soundness.
