“…The minimum database for each visit includes an updated diet and exercise history, physical examination and body condition score, visual inspection of hooves for signs of laminitis, and endocrine tests (eg, OST). It is also crucial that preventive and corrective farriery is coordinated alongside veterinary care …”

Equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) is a widely recognized collection of risk factors for endocrinopathic laminitis. The most important of these risk factors is insulin dysregulation (ID). Clinicians and horse owners must recognize the presence of these risk factors so that they can be targeted and controlled to reduce the risk of laminitis attacks. Diagnosis of EMS is based partly on the horse's history and clinical examination findings, and partly on laboratory testing. Several choices of test exist which examine different facets of ID and other related metabolic disturbances. EMS is controlled mainly by dietary strategies and exercise programs that aim to improve insulin regulation and decrease obesity where present. In some cases, pharmacologic aids might be useful. Management of an EMS case is a long‐term strategy requiring diligence and discipline by the horse's carer and support and guidance from their veterinarians.

“…Lines drawn across the articular surface of the distal phalanx or through the solar foramina that are not parallel with the ground surface in the weight bearing horse suggest that the distal phalanx is not level within the hoof capsule, but tilted distally towards one side (Parks ; O'Grady and Parks ) ( Fig ). This is usually accompanied by a shorter distance between the solar surface of the distal phalanx and the ground surface on the side on which the distal phalanx appears to be displaced distally.…”

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.

“…O objetivo imediato é realinhar a superfície solar do casco com a superfície solar da falange distal. Para fazer esse realinhamento com precisão, é necessária a orientação radiológica (O'GRADY, 2010). Após a estabilização do casco, era realizado o ferrageamento.…”

“…Não há uma ferradura que seja efi caz no tratamento de todos os cavalos com rotação falangeana, no entanto, existem orientações que são úteis e podem ser adaptadas às necessidades de cada cavalo. As considerações principais envolvidas na seleção de ferraduras e técnicas de ferrageamento são reposicionar o ponto de quebra, fornecer suporte para a sola e ranilha e elevar os talões quando necessário (O'GRADY, 2010).…”
