Laminitis in Horses: A Painful Hoof Emergency
Laminitis is inflammation of the sensitive laminae inside the hoof. It's exquisitely painful and can cause permanent lameness.
Laminitis is inflammation and damage to the laminae — the interlocking tissues that suspend the coffin bone inside the hoof wall. When laminae are damaged, the coffin bone rotates or sinks downward, causing excruciating pain and potentially permanent lameness. Laminitis is one of the most devastating conditions in horses.
