Clinical insights: Diagnosis of laminitis

Equine Laminitis: Practical Clinical Considerations

Over the past 20 yr, extensive research efforts as well as clinical experience has greatly increased our knowledge base of equine laminitis. Our present understanding of the disease is that there is failure of the lamellar attachment between the distal phalanx and hoof wall. This, in turn, initiates a sequence of events ranging from no permanent structural damage to loss of the hoof capsule. Af...

Endocrinopathic Laminitis, Obesity-Associated Laminitis, and Pasture-Associated Laminitis

In a recent online survey, we asked equine practitioners to list the three most common causes of laminitis in horses seen within their practice. We expected veterinarians to list colitis, colic, and retained placenta as the primary causes of laminitis, but many respondents listed obesity, insulin resistance (IR), equine metabolic syndrome (EMS), pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID), and...

SYMPOSIUM: LAMINITIS INVESTIGATIONS Investigation Strategies for Laminitis Problem Herds

Lameness in dairy cows includes many disease conditions, and a systematic approach is required to diagnose the predominant causes and identify the important risk factors. Lameness prevalence can be quantified using locomotion scoring systems. Entire herds can be scored quite easily as they walk access lanes. If lameness prevalence exceeds 15% of the herd, it is important to differentiate the ca...
