Endocrinopathic Laminitis

Endocrinopathic laminitis is a consequence of persistent hyperinsulinemia, therefore insulin control is the key to prevention and effective treatment. This form of laminitis is commonly subclinical and therefore early diagnosis requires metabolic screening to establish risk and radiographic screening to detect early laminitic changes that may not yet be clinically apparent. Management changes can be used in conjunction with medication to control insulin and effectively prevent and treat endocrinopathic laminitis.
