Abstract
In laminitis occurring in the field, as opposed to laminitis occurring during hospitalization or severe illness, endocrinopathic laminitis is the predominant form of laminitis. Prevalent causes of endocrinopathic laminitis are ECS and EMS. Exclusion of inflammatory or weight bearing causes of laminitis and focussing on the identification and treatment of underlying endocrine conditions will improve laminitis management strategies.
