“…A wide range of clinical signs were displayed by the laminitic cases, in agreement with previous reviews (Baxter 1994, Swanson 1999, Eustace 2010, Hunt and Wharton 2010). There were no individual, or combinations of, clinical signs present in every case.…”

“…There are no universally accepted gold-standard techniques for the detection and quantification of the four stages of laminitis (Herthel and Hood 1999, Swanson 1999, Eustace 2010, Hunt and Wharton 2010, Menzies-Gow and others 2010c). Acute laminitis arises with the development of clinical signs appreciable as changes in the normal stance and gait of the animal (Coffman and Garner 1972, Baxter 1994, Swanson 1999).…”

Multivariable analysis using graphical 37 classification tree-based statistical models linked laminitis prevalence with specific 38,

“…These abnormalities will be discussed in more detail; however, it should be remembered that all radiological abnormalities must be assessed and interpreted in light of the clinical signs of the horse, the stage of the disease and any previous radiological findings. Angular measurements, dorsal hoof wall thickness and sole thickness can all be altered by trimming and this needs to be considered when evaluating radiographs (Eustace ). Ideally, radiographs would be acquired both before and after trimming; however, when finances preclude 2 sets of radiographs being obtained, pretrimming radiographs are more important than post trimming radiographs because the nature of the trim is dependent on assessment of the pretrimming radiographs.…”

Summary Radiographic studies are an essential component in evaluation of horses with laminitis. The standard radiographs that should be obtained to aid assessment of horses with laminitis are the lateromedial, horizontal dorsopalmar and dorsal 45° proximal palmarodistal oblique views. This article will summarise the assessment of these 3 projections in the laminitic horse as well as discuss the prognostic significance of common radiological abnormalities in horses with laminitis.

“…Although the combined treatment appeared successful and the filly returned to pasture soundness and normal distal phalanx‐hoof wall alignment did occur, it is probable that irreversible pathological changes had already occurred in the affected feet (Moyer et al . 2000; Eustace 2010). Therefore, close monitoring for normal hoof growth and routine appropriate corrective trimming in intervals of 4–6 weeks will be necessary in the future.…”

Summary The case report presented here describes in detail the treatment and clinical progression of a case of severe chronic laminitis in a 10‐month‐old Arabian filly. Starting from the acute onset of clinical signs through the severe, debilitating progression of the disease, the report describes the medical, surgical and farriery treatment over a period of 8 months. The combination of deep digital flexor tendon tenotomy, hoof wall resection, corrective trimming and shoeing was successful in halting progression of the disease. The successful treatment resulted in new healthy hoof wall growth, re‐establishment of normal third phalanx‐hoof wall alignment and reversal of the degenerative modelling changes that occurred in the third phalanx. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study describing treatment of severe chronic laminitis in such a young filly.
