Laminitis in the pony: conservative treatment vs dorsal hoof wall resection

Laminitis in the pony: conservative treatment vs dorsal hoof wall resection Summary The clinical and radiographic findings in 21 ponies with laminitis and its treatment and results are described. All ponies received non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs. All were fed hay and no concentrates. They were box rested for varying periods depending on clinical improvement. Dorsal hoof wall resection was performed in 11 ponies and all regained complete soundness. To shorten the period of non‐activity, working ponies were shod and the hoof wall defect was packed with technovit or a combination of glue with cotton cuttings. Ten were treated conservatively; two recovered completely, four remained lame and four were killed because of recurrent laminitis. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Equine Veterinary Journal Wiley

Abstract

Summary The clinical and radiographic findings in 21 ponies with laminitis and its treatment and results are described. All ponies received non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs. All were fed hay and no concentrates. They were box rested for varying periods depending on clinical improvement. Dorsal hoof wall resection was performed in 11 ponies and all regained complete soundness. To shorten the period of non‐activity, working ponies were shod and the hoof wall defect was packed with technovit or a combination of glue with cotton cuttings. Ten were treated conservatively; two recovered completely, four remained lame and four were killed because of recurrent laminitis.
