This is the best lecture I have ever seen on this condition. I have had three vets on my horse currently but by far, this has been the most informative discussion about the mechanics of the problem and was extremely helpful.
Wow - what a great lecture! (Parts 1 and 2) Clear and practical for horseowners. Now I really understand how laminitis, founder, and Cushings/EMS are interrelated. Very helpful, as my geriatric horse has Cushings and has had some foot issues recently. Thank you!
Great amount of Endotoxins produced by a bacteria in the gut is responsible of laminitis. It is because that bacteria have grown rapidly in great number the guts thanks to a great amount of grain / fresh grass. -other causes exist apparently : - a great intake of cold water after workout. - progressive mechanical destruction of veins network under heavy load and /or hard surface.
This video was super informative. My mare is currently on stall rest with laminitis and while I have a basic understanding of the disease process, the way you explained it makes a lot more sense, and really drives home just how important reducing inflammation in the acute phase is. I do have a question about rotation of the coffin bone, my horse does have rotation of her coffin bone, 12 degrees on one foot and 9 degrees on the other. As new hoof grows in, does frequent trimming also help to reduce the angle of the coffin bone rotation relative to the new hoof growth? Or is this a situation where once the coffin bone has rotated a certain amount, its will remain at the same angle as new hoof grows in?
Thank you for your helping us understand our girls and their struggles. Most helpful videos I've ever seen.
Dr. Eitelman, these are incredible. Thank you!
So incredibly helpful. Thank you for the master class on laminitis and founder!!
Wonderfully brilliant lectures!!!!
Greatest explanation EVER!!
Dry erase board, markers, and greatest explanation ever!!!!
Brilliant and so understandable!!! "If you can't explain it without power point, you can't explain it"

Thank you!
Does anyone know what caused the inflammation to begin with? Great video. Thank you.

What about winter founder or road founder
Can we feed rice bran

This is a great question 👍I would also love to know 😊
