My horse has recently come down with laminitis for the first time. We are waiting on bloods to gain further perspective.
This is my first time dealing with lami, and it’s certainly been intense! We have started to see an improvement - day 10, very bright in the daytime, eating, drinking etc, getting around a bit now, but still very sore, but not rocking as much.
However At night seems to spend pretty much the whole night flat out. During this time will eat while lying down if any hay (all soaked of course) nearby and will go to toilet (number 2) while lying down. This freaks me out a little as I can’t imagine this is very good for them, but all articles seem to say let them rest their feet.
Anyone got any recovery stories they can share?
