In this episode of the EquiConnect podcast, hosts Dr. Mike Pownall and Karen Foell, along with guest Dr. Kate Robinson, discuss the timely topic of fall laminitis in horses. They explore what laminitis is, why fall presents a higher risk for this condition, and the factors like cool nights and high sugar grass that can contribute to it. The conversation covers the impact of conditions like metabolic syndrome and PPID (Cushing’s disease) on laminitis risks, particularly in older horses. The discussion also highlights how managing diet, exercise, and grazing habits can mitigate these risks. Dr. Kate Robinson and Dr. Mike Pownall share insights on recognizing symptoms, testing for PPID, and specific hoof care strategies to help afflicted horses.
