Laminitis may be the end product or a derivative of a range of illnesses. The severity of occurrence can also change with circumstances.
When a mare foals, make awfully sure that the placenta is completely removed post birth. A somewhat ejected placenta can stimulate internal acid reactions and the activation of endotoxins that might kick off episodes of laminitis.
Laminitis might be the result of putting a horse through sustained laborious work on terrain that is too harsh, especially if the horse is totally unused to such terrain.
Hormonal effects are also major reasons for laminitis, though the exact working of these factors has not been completely accepted yet. What is known is 'broodmares' have a robust inclination towards retarding symptoms that accompany the initial onset of laminitis, while mares in regular cycle show symptoms in a more pronounced manner.
Viral reaction factors can arise because of abnormally high body temperatures which then lead to onset of laminitis. In this sort of case, indications of laminitis appear to manifest themselves about two or three weeks after the viral condition occured. This kind of situation leaves ridges, often referred to as 'fever rings', on the walls of the hoof. Fever rings are a kind of easily readable sign that can give the observer a fair idea of the history of basic health of the horse.
Horses that have received cortisone in high amounts, or in small amounts but over extended periods of time, are very subject to laminitis.
I repeat, "Viral reaction factors can arise due to unusually high body temperatures which then lead to the onset of laminitis. In such cases, symptoms of laminitis seem to manifest themselves about 2 or 3 weeks after the viral condition prevailed. This sort of situation leaves ridges, also known as 'fever rings', on the walls of the hoof. Fever rings are a form of easily legible tale that may give the observer a reasonable notion of the history of basic health of the pony."
