Diagnosis, Etiology, Equine Laminitis, TreatmentAbstract
Equine laminitis is characterized by an inflammatory process that affects the supporting structures of the hoof, including the horny lamina and the third phalange. There are several theories about the causes of laminitis, including the vascular, traumatic, enzymatic, and glucose deprivation theories. The disease can be classified into two stages: acute and chronic. The diagnosis is made through clinical and radiographic examinations, and the treatment includes pain control, treatment of inflammation and prevention of complications. The general objective of the present study was to demonstrate, through a bibliographic review, the different therapeutic forms in order to provide an informative support in the institution of the treatment. This work comprises a bibliographical review, where scientific articles searched in the online databases Scielo, PubMed, Google Scholar and Lilacs were used. The scientific articles used were written in English or Portuguese, which were published between 2013 and 2023, indicating a time frame of 10 years. It is concluded that the treatment of equine laminitis requires an integrated approach, involving different complementary therapies, aiming at the recovery of the affected animal and that the use of therapeutic alternatives can provide pain relief and reduce recovery time, in addition to contributing to the welfare and quality of life of the animal.
