To treat laminitis Goal As good recovery as possible The horse shall be as comfortable as possible during treatment Treatment should be practical a reasonable price Acute laminitis 72 hours from first clinical signs Treat underlying causes Box rest paraffinum liquidium p.o. Pain controle NSAID +.? Feeding regime feed forage high Biomechanical adjustment Prostaglandins, leukotriener, interleukiner, bradykinin, substanse P, TNF-alfa contribute to increased neurogenic sensitization and pain 2
Treat underlying causes and laminitis The horse should be comfortable Guedes et al. Vet Anaesth Analg. 2013 Treatment of pain associated with equine laminitis with soluble epoxide hydrolase (seh) inhibitor, t-tucb Epoxidation of arachidonic acid by cytochrome P450 enzymes during inflammation yields epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs). The EETs levels are regulated by soluble epoxide hydrolase (seh). 3
Primary inflammatory pain arising from peripheral tissues can be amplified by central secondary hyperalgesia and by neuropathic pain, both characterised by increased preand post synaptic neuronal sensitivity and activity at the level of the spinal cord Pentoxifylline, which has been shown to have anti-hyperalgesic properties via inhibition of the cytokines tumour necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin-1 (IL-1) and matrix metalloproteinases, 8.8 mg/kg bwt per os q. 8 h Dutton et al. Equine vet. Educ. (2009) Gabapentin, an anti-seizure drug, for treatment of neuropathic pain, 2.5 mg/kg, PO, q 12 h - to - 3.3 mg/kg bwt per os q. 8 h. Buthorphanol, Metadone Williams et al. [2010] demonstrated that intravenous lidocaine had no effect on systemic and lamellar inflammation in fact there was some evidence of a pro-inflammatory effect. Treat the right malady It is better to prevent than to treat - identify of horses at risk. - Eliminate risk factors where possible or intervene therapeutically before establishment of the disease. - In systemically ill horses, signs of sepsis or endotoxaemia are an established risk factor for laminitis and therefore aggressive therapy aimed at binding circulating endotoxin (polymixin B, plasma) and controlling systemic inflammation (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, pentoxifylline) is rational. - Continuous cryotherapy of the feet in these cases may prevent or at least ameliorate laminitis 4

Strength Clinical symtoms of laminitis Normal hoof In gallop forces of up to 3 times the horse s body weight Force, standing horse 4 kg oligofructose raise the baseline Time Factors that might raise the baseline: Previous episode(s) of laminitis, gut flora, deworming, certain feed, hood trimming/shoeing, transport, metritis, pulmonary-/intestinal-/kidney- diseases, medicines (ex. Cortisone), EMS, pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction, inactivity, endotoxin, To get as good success rate as possible: Treat underlying disease, and the rest above. Mild laminitis rest from work 2 3 months Rotation or sinking rest from work 9-10 moths Let them be without NSAID for 2-3 days before lighten the restrictions. Successive changes in feeding regime and other factors that can affect the gut flora, work, etc. A good farrier and the right OWNER 6
