  • Title: Therapeutic hypothermia (cryotherapy) to prevent and treat acute laminitis.
    Author: van Eps AW.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Equine Pract; 2010 Apr; 26(1):125-33. PubMed ID: 20381741.
    Abstract:
    Digital hypothermia successfully reduces the severity of experimentally induced laminitis. Continuous-distal limb cryotherapy may be a useful technique in clinical cases that are at risk of developing laminitis. This article examines the effects of hypothermia on tissue as well as the rationale, and suggested protocols for the usage of distal limb cryotherapy in the prevention and treatment of laminitis.
