Talk About Laminitis

Talk About Laminitis has returned for another year and Liphook Equine Hospital are performing all the testing for the 4th year running. From now until the end of October FREE blood test vouchers (which are now paperless) are available at: http://www.talkaboutlaminitis.co.uk/.

Thousands of horses have benefited from the Talk About Laminitis program allowing early diagnosis and therefore prevention of future laminitis episodes.

When horses and ponies are prone to laminitis it is important to test for Cushing’s disease, amongst other underlying hormonal diseases. Although many people think that Cushing’s is a disease seen only in geriatric patients it has now been shown that many (up to one third) of 10 to 15 year olds may be affected.
