This is well worth a read and certainly raises many questions.

Educating horses to cope with the world around them from a young age is crucial to set them up for a happy life

LAMINITIS

We have seen sudden increase of laminitic ponies & horses over the last few days.

Here is what to look out for:
🌱Acute laminitis
For animals suffering acute laminitis symptoms generally come on very suddenly and are severe.
The horse will show an inability or reluctance to walk or move and may possibly lie down, displaying an unwillingness to get up. The horse will be visibly lame especially when moving on a circle or on a hard surface, and will have an increased digital pulse in the foot.
The horse, when standing, may well lean back on to its hind feet in order to relieve the pressure on its front feet. The horse will have pain in front of the point of frog and when walking may place its heels down first rather than its toes. There can also be symptoms shown vaguely similar to colic.
🌱Chronic laminitis
A horse with chronic laminitis will show signs of ongoing symptoms that are generally a result of a relapse from previous attacks.
The horse’s hoof will have the appearance of growth rings around the hoof wall, which generally indicates that it has suffered from laminitis in the past. However, these should not be confused with hoof rings, which are due to changes in nutrition or to stress.
The heel will often grow faster than the toe and the white line in the hoof will have widened. The horse may well have a large crest, which runs along its neckline.

How to manage a laminitic:
🌱Call your vets immediately, we will be able to give you pain relief and possibly x-rays to see if there is any damage to the pedal bone.
🌱Remove you horse/pony from the grass & put onto a deep bed (ideally shavings).
🌱Give your horse soaked hay (minimum of 2 hours) to remove any sugars.

Prevention is better than cure as always:
🌱Weight management is key! We offer free weight clinics to all Swanspool clients.
🌱Test your pony/horses for EMS and Cushings- our vets can advise on treatment options for individual cases.
