Location: AZ | We have a horse who has just come up with mild laminitis and we are looking for help on what to do. He is 6 years old and in very condition and not overweight. He has been not been right for about a month and a half, we immediately had the vet out but they couldn't find anything wrong. But this Monday he could barely walk, the vet came out and he has a slight rotation in the front. The farrier came out and put pads in his front shoes, we are only giving him soaked grass and horse shoers secret. We ordered soft rides. We ice morning and night. Looking for any information on laminitis, how long did you stall rest for? Supplements? Feed? Any tips. I did search the forum but couldn't find that much information. New to this forum, so probably not searching correctly. Any help would be so greatly appreciated. |

Location: 31 lengths farms | I'd ask about Isoxiprine and a dose of Osphos. Isoxiprine helps with blood flow to the feet and Osphos may help some with bone degeneration or pain. I'd get him the boots and maybe wait on the pour in pads for his feet so the sole of his foot can be looked at more readily. And I'd also recommend looking into Cur-ost either the Green or the Pure to help manage pain and inflammation. |

Location: 31 lengths farms | My gelding is showing some issues with his navicular and coffin bone, he is 16 and a big horse, I've ran barrels, cut and have done reined cow horse events on him. He also showed some laminitis signs. We did one dose of the Osphos and a year long regimen of the Isoxiprine which helped tremendously and I've been able to maintain him on the Cur-ost Total Support and the Nitric Boost plus some of the Pure a few days leading up to a race not to mention staying on top of his shoeing appt and checking and rechecking balanced, no thrush feet.

| Banamine a low dose till there is no pedal pulse.
You also need to figure out what the cause was, water, stress, food, concussion and eliminate the cause |
