Laminitis is a painful condition affecting the feet of horses and sometimes other hoofed animals. It occurs when the soft tissues within the hoof, called the laminae, become swollen and inflamed, causing separation between the hoof wall and the underlying parts. Laminitis can happen because of various reasons like overeating, metabolic issues, injury, or carrying too much weight on hard surfaces. Symptoms include limping, reluctance to move, increased pulse in the foot, and a characteristic rocking motion to lessen pressure on the affected feet. Treatment involves rest, caring for the hooves, managing pain, and addressing underlying causes. Early detection and action are crucial to prevent long-term harm and improve recovery chances.
