I think I only just caught my laminitic in time- I have been checking I can still feel her ribs every night when I bring her in and I could, so thought all was well. Also, I have been riding her twice a week and thought she looked very nice last time I rode her, about 4/5 days ago. Well, I took her rug off for a proper look today in daylight and nearly died of shock- in those 4/5 days she has gone from 'about right', to 'turning into an elephant'! I can still feel her ribs and see them when she moves, but that is the only thin bit of her- she even had a little crest :-( So we went for some exercise and she is now officially in her starvation paddock for the Summer. So, just a warning really- it doesn't look like there is any grass in our field but there is obviously LOADS so double check your laminitics!!
