Laminitis STaR

Laminitis is the foot's catastrophe: the living connection between hoof wall and bone inflamed and at risk. It is a veterinary emergency at the start and a long three-way project afterwards — vet, farrier, owner — measured in months.

Consider this program when:

• a veterinary-managed laminitis case is through the acute crisis
• the recovery months of box rest and remedial farriery need support
• a laminitis-prone pony is under management in the risk seasons
• comfort care is agreed as part of the veterinary plan

Never during the acute phase without the vet's explicit agreement — and never instead of the diet, farriery and treatment doing the real work. Sudden foot pain, rocking back, heat and pounding pulses: that is the emergency call, immediately.
