Laminitis. Too many horse owners are confronted with this disease one day. And when it happens to your horse, pony or donkey, you’re at your wit’s end. Seeing your beloved animal suffer so much pain is horrible. You want nothing more than to help, but don’t know how.
Quick intervention can prevent a lot of suffering. This book explains exactly and extensively what happens in the horse’s body, both just before and during laminitis. The latest scientific findings regarding sugars, hormones, medications, underlying diseases (such as PPID), treatment methods, toxins, and stress are all discussed in detail. The same applies to the crucial importance of good, natural nutrition, housing, exercise, and correct hoof care.
This book offers practical solutions and simple preventive measures. The emphasis is on the very important role you play as the owner of the horse. In short, after reading this book, you’ll know how to help your horse, pony or donkey recover and stay healthy.
In addition, ‘Laminitis: Understanding, Healing, Preventing’ is a valuable resource for both veterinarians and hoof care professionals. Unfortunately, many professionals in the equine world often lack thorough knowledge about this complex problem. As a result, laminitis is diagnosed too late or not recognized at all. The treatments used often prove to be insufficiently effective because they are based on outdated ideas and theories, or because the focus is too much on the hooves. This book aims to change this by offering effective solutions and by refocusing attention on the whole horse.
‘Laminitis: Understanding, Healing, Preventing’ is an absolute must-have for anyone who works with or cares for a horse, pony or donkey with laminitis.
