my horse got cronic Laminitis because we reconized it to late he went from acute to cronic because of our late response. Because he play really rough with other horses and is way smaller we first though he got hurt at playtime. But when it got worse we called the vet and he immidiatly reconized it. It find it very important to show horse owner how to reconize it! my horse will always have a hard time with spring grass and i hate myself for not knowing how to see it at first. Please people learn!
Surprised how few people can't actually see chronic laminitis. I was at a sale recently & a grey Welsh pony made 400 quid & was positively walking on hot coals. It made the money because it was under saddle & stupidly enough, perfectly sound horses who were only halter broken were going for 50 quid. Puts people's priorities into perspective doesn't it!
This is interesting. It's good to know these signs, because often it can be misdiagnosed by owners. Caregivers of horses can benefit from this also. I would love to take some classes and learn about these things. I love horses and would like to work with them in a lesser capacity than a Vet.
I believe that anyone who want to own any animal should have to attend a class depending on the animal. Horse- horse class, dog- Dog class, cat, turtle Any thing. Get the first time owners, and some long time owners, educated!
@bunny2057 It could be a number of things. The sensitivity on the hard surface concerns me. Next time the hoofs feel warm, check for the pulses at the back of the pasterns. If they are bounding - call the vet. That could mean something happening inside the hoof. Keep an eye out for signs of lameness, but if he's fine and no other symptoms develop, it may just be normal for your horse.
my horse is 14 and never had hoof problems,ive noticed his fronts are warm and the under side of hoof are flakey a bit in the sole is this normal? i was thinking it was a peace of gravle stuk under his hoof he was limping for a day but i have been cleaning his feet out 2 times a day.he seems to be inprooving,no limping anymore but is sensative on harder grounds with his front feet do u have any tips or advice please let me know .
