09.01.2022 LAMINITIS ITS DESTRUCTION OF THE LAMINAE A very Brief look - ... As we now understand laminitis is not a foot disease, it is a WHOLE HORSE INFLAMMATORY DISEASE. Laminitis in the hoof is a symptom of a much bigger health picture that is going on inside the horse. The problem starts from within the lower intestine and can be set off for a number of reasons. Many common factors include high fructan , sugar,carb levels grain overload, medication, vaccines, any substance that’s not natural for a horse. Of course there are other factors that can include injuries,retained placenta trauma and emotional stress or physical demands . But commonly an overload of substances of an unnatural kind are the biggest factor. BACTERIAs SHOULD LIVE TOGETHER IN HARMONY, THIS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE HORSES DIGESTIVE SYSTEM. There are good and bad bacterias that normally live in harmony together but when these overload of substances are digested or absorbed they can create a damaging impact on the digestive system causing the healthy bacteria to die and the harmful bacteria to aggressively proliferate overpowering the beneficial good bacteria that is essential for a healthy digestive system. When overloading the small intestine with high levels of fructan in say pasture/ hays , grains , ete , this cannot be adequately digested and ends up in the hind gut where the bacterias that live there will ferment into an acidic and toxic mix , eroding the gastric and intestinal mucosa that is responsible for the vital digestive and nutrient absorption. From here the bad bacteria is absorbed into the blood stream where they overwhelm the body’s natural immune system and cause a cascade of events and many health issues that can wreak havoc through out the body . This then causes tissues and cells within the hoof being starved of vital nutrients causing the breakdown and destruction within the hoof capsule. Circulation then becomes impaired and virtually becomes non functioning and stops . This is what damages the laminae . The laminae inside the hoof is made up of leave like structures that knit and interlock together they form a vital part of bridging the connective tissues between the inner hoof wall and the outer face of the bone low in the horses hoof called the coffin bone or pedal p3 . The fibrous tissues of the dermal leaf contains blood and nerves and is attached to the lower face of the coffin bone . The other side interlocking with the epidermal leaves that are also fibrous but do not contain blood or nerves. These two sets of leaves are connected and bridged together this is called Lamellar attachment mechanism.( LAM) When all is fully functioning and healthy this allows the hoof wall to grow down past the coffin bone in a healthy development . If all is not fully functioning then this LAM can result in destruction breakdown pulling apart the sensitive laminae from the coffin bone resulting in possible rotation. When laminitis strikes A Very painful Inflammation is endured . Digestive health is so very important to a healthy system.
