The Laminitis Clinic

[iestynlad]

I have been trying to ring them for a week but get an answermachine. Anyone got another number and anyone rung them for advice recently please?

I tried to ring them last summer for a week, I too got the answer phone everyday. Needless to say I gave up in the end.

I rang the Laminitis Trust last year, got the number off the internet. It did take a few phone calls before I got through and they did apologise and said they were very busy.

I started a thread like this in NL, I couldn't get through on and off for a few months. Eventually got through few weeks back and she just told me they were very busy so keep trying.

Anything we can help with ?

Amandap: m thanks will certainly try this website. Cheers to all repliers.

I rang them last year - I didn't have any bother getting through, but I thought their advice was incredibly narrow-minded, and ended up putting the phone down again very quickly. They said that my mare, who had suffered post-operative laminitis, would 'never be able to be without shoes again'. She had been barefoot for 8 years, and has been barefoot and sound since just after that phonecall.

The vet I trust most is not flattering about the laminitis clinic. What are you trying to find out from them?

Been to one of their presentations and was seriously unimpressed wiht their attitude and advice.

Better help available on the UKNHCP forum to be honest.

I wouldn't waste your money and time. Their advice is mainly based around ignoring your vet and feeding their supplements.

OP this last poster is a VET and her opinion worth more than most. (My kind of vet, again )

Cough, cough, splutter, splutter... sorry, just choking on my tea.

alsiola once again I agree with you.

If any one has the time and the patience, it is always worth finding out who owns what and where the money goes. Changes one's perspective a bit. Or at least it does for me.

does doesn't it

I agree, I went there 3 years ago as a barefoot trimmer, hoping to learn something and ended up chewing my fists, as they knew (or offered) a lot less than I already know.
