Area of Science:

  • Equine Podiatry
  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Animal Science

Background:

  • Laminitis is a complex equine disease with distinct developmental, acute, subacute, and chronic phases.
  • Effective management requires understanding the transition from acute to later stages of the disease.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide guidance on therapeutic strategies for horses with laminitis after the acute phase has resolved.
  • To address the specific needs of laminitic horses during the subacute and chronic stages.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current veterinary literature on laminitis management.
  • Discussion of treatment protocols for horses beyond the acute inflammatory period.
  • Emphasis on long-term care and rehabilitation strategies.

Main Results:

  • Successful management hinges on tailored treatment plans initiated after acute phase therapy cessation.
  • Early intervention in subacute and chronic phases can significantly impact prognosis.
  • A multi-modal approach is often necessary for optimal recovery.

Conclusions:

  • Treatment of laminitis requires a phased approach, with specific considerations for the subacute and chronic stages.
  • Continued monitoring and adaptive therapy are crucial for horses recovering from laminitis.
  • Focusing on post-acute care improves long-term outcomes for affected horses.
