Treating Laminitis and Founder

Laminities is a health condition of the feet in horses. Sore feet are the first and most clear symptoms of laimintis in horses. You can suspect laminitis when your horse appears to be listless and totally not keen to walk even the shortest distances. An especially plain give away is when the pony stands with a front leg raised and folded under its body. Laminitis mostly troubles the front legs, and this makes the horse take the strain off the affected leg by raising it and tucking it back. Sometimes, though, laimintis can also trouble the rear feet.
