🚨 Laminitis Alert: Protect Your Horse’s Hooves 🚨

Laminitis is a serious condition that can affect horses of any age or breed, and it's important to recognize the signs early. This painful inflammation of the hoof's laminae can lead to permanent damage if not managed properly.

Common Causes of Laminitis:

🌾Diet: Too much rich spring grass or grain can cause an insulin spike, leading to laminitis.

🐴Obesity: Overweight horses are at a higher risk.

🩹Injury or Illness: Stress from other health issues, such as colic or infections, can trigger laminitis.

Signs to Watch For:

▪️ Sudden lameness or reluctance to move
▪️ Heat in the hooves, especially the front
▪️ A noticeable change in posture (e.g., shifting weight off the front legs)
▪️ Sensitivity or pain when walking on hard surfaces

Stay vigilant and make sure your horse stays happy and healthy this season! 🌸

Contact us today with any questions. We are here to help!💚
