Fall laminitis refers to cases of laminitis or founder that occur in the autumnal months. Although laminitis can happen in any season, anecdotally there seems to be an uptick in the number of cases in the fall.

Why could this be?

• As the days get shorter and colder, grasses have been shown to respond to this stress with higher sugar concentrations. Diets with higher simple sugar concentrations may increase the risk of laminitis.

• Decreases in exercise may cause increases in body condition. Fat or obese horses are at risk of developing laminitis.

• Horses naturally have increased levels of certain hormones in the fall. If you have a horse with PPID (previously referred to as equine Cushing’s), the increase in their cortisol levels could put them at risk for laminitis.

If you have questions concerning fall laminitis or are concerned that your horse may be at an increased risk, contact your equine veterinarian so that they can properly evaluate your horse's unique situation.

Thank you to the Horse Owner Education Committee for providing this information.

Radar gives his Bemer treatment 2 “Ears Up!” We have been treating him for an acute case of laminitis due to insulin resistance. Radar and his owner have been rockstars with his treatment plan.

YES bemer therapy can help improve blood flow and remove the inflammation caused by laminitis! We are excited to be able to add this therapy into our toolbox for our equine athletes.

If anyone in Monte is missing an adult (young) cat, mostly white with large orange patterns on body and head, we have him at the Vet Clinic. He is a he, not neutered, extra loving, tame and super friendly. I was holding him and he turned over on his back and laid in my arms like a baby. The city picked him up near the corner of Mesita and Escalanta in the south part of town, 2 blocks west of Main. I've tried several times to take his picture, but he is too busy having his face in his food dish to look up. Call me at 620-846-2239 if you have questions.

We will be closing the clinic today, January 8, at noon due to weather. Please stay safe everyone!
