HydroPathics for Founder/Laminitis in the Horse

Laminitis is considered inflammation of the sensitive connective tissues of the equine foot, leading to an acute local congestion. Acute and chronic forms of this condition are recognized, and may involve all four feet. In the practice of Applied Equine Podiatry laminitis is viewed as elastosis or the loss of elasticity of the connective tissues within the foot, labeled as EDE (Equine Digital Elastosis). In an effort to aid in returning correct metabolic function, and preventing further loss of elasticity, hydration is believed to be essential.

Where pain is present the risk of colic is high, increasing fluid intake can help reduce the risk of colic.
