Laminitis is a painful and potentially life-threatening condition affecting a horse's hooves. Spring and Summer, especially when weather conditions encourage rapid grass growth, are our highest risk times of year for laminitis. It is important to check your horse daily to ensure they are in good health and keeping an eye out for any of these clinical signs can help to catch laminitis early.

Here are some clinical signs to look out for:

🔹 Reluctance to move or walk, especially on hard ground
🔹 Shifting weight between feet or “leaning back” to relieve pressure
🔹 Warm hooves, particularly at the front
🔹 Strong or bounding digital pulse near the fetlock
🔹 Short, shuffling gait
🔹 Lying down more often than usual
🔹 Visible pain or discomfort when turning

If you see any of these signs please don't hesitate to contact the office.

IVCA Member Spotlight

Hi, my name is Jen Allen, and I am an equine veterinarian in Glasgow, Scotland and qualified in animal chiropractic through the IVCA with Options for Animals. I qualified as a veterinary surgeon in 2016 and since 2021 have become a member of the IVCA.

Originally from California, I have worked in Washington state, England, California and recently returned to Scotland last March! Since obtaining my chiropractic qualification I have enjoyed incorporating it into my multimodal approach for poor performance cases, acute traumatic cases as well as general wellness and maintenance for horses spanning from the pleasure horse up to competition level athletes.
