| Abstract: | Managing laminitis entails a multifaceted approach and includes nutritional management in all cases. Using advanced imaging techniques, as part of the diagnostic workup, provides guidance in the treatment options and includes computed tomography, computer modeling, digital radiography and venography. The therapeutic procedures are trimming, shoeing, deep flexor tenotomy and hoof wall resection as possible considerations and is dependent on the clinical findings. When applicable, preventive measures such as cryotherapy and techniques to prevent support limb laminitis can be implemented. |
