Update- Lilly is doing fantastically. She’s off painkillers/anti inflammatory and hasn’t a trace of pain or soreness. All good so far!
Well that's great but you either need to restrict her grazing considerably by strict strip grazing, using a muzzle or limit her time out.Update- Lilly is doing fantastically. She’s off painkillers/anti inflammatory and hasn’t a trace of pain or soreness. All good so far!
Sounds like she's progressing well. Please don't rush things with a laminitic. Did the vet say the cause?
I would have thought all that lovely rich grass in the original picture. Is there aways a cause for it, can it just be to much sweet grass?
Don’t know much about lami.
It can be but there can also be an underlying reason for it which is normally the catalyst. ie EMS- insulin resistance, and if the horse is older, the higher the risk of cushing's disease being part of the problem too. If there's been any laminitis in the passed, they're more susceptible too. There's also concussive laminitis, medically induced laminitis etc but these are unlikely in this instance. I'm unsure if genetics have been proven to be a cause yet, but I'm more than certain genetics play a factor in things like EMS.I would have thought all that lovely rich grass in the original picture.
