Video: Chronic Laminitis and Founder

In this video from the Animal Health Foundation, Dr. Walsh explains chronic laminitis and current methods of hoof mechanics to support damaged feet. He explains abnormal hormones and that Cushing’s disease (“PPID”) or Equine Metabolic Syndrome may be the underlying cause of chronic laminitis.

Chronic laminitis occurs when a horse has acute laminitis, and fails to recover. After four to six months of fighting the disease, it now becomes classified as chronic laminitis. Watch the video to learn more.
