  • Title: Field treatment and management of endocrinopathic laminitis in horses and ponies.
    Author: Walsh DM.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Equine Pract; 2010 Aug; 26(2):379-90. PubMed ID: 20699182.
    Abstract:
    Endocrinopathic laminitis in horses and ponies has the potential to cause extensive damage to the feet before clinical signs of laminitis are apparent. Early diagnosis and intervention based on the detection and control of hyperinsulinemia are critical if the crippling changes that are seen in the disease are to be avoided. Preventing endocrinopathic laminitis, rather than treating it, is good practice management benefiting not only equine patients but also their owners.
