what are the signs of Lami

[Dogbetty141]

Hi Guys just wondering if you could tell me what the symptoms of lami are please. Im just wondering as I went up to turn out this morning and my friends horse was very bad on his feet not wanting to move or weight bare and leaning on back feet.

Thanks

Liz

That sounds like classic laminitis symptoms unfortunately. Prime time of year for it too. Get the horse in on a deep bed and call the vet as an emergency!

Yep, pony in, deep deep bed all the way to the door and vet out as soon as he can get there without causing a pile up en-route!
The one thing not mentioned in that link is some ponies and horses get swelling of the supra-orbitals, and is often linked to an animal that suffers cushings related lami.
