Case Study

Shetland Pony – chronic laminits case

 

 

 

 

Radiograph of left front foot. A metal wire shows the level of the coronet and the outline of the hoof wall. The short metal piece was used as a sizing aid. It is 2 cm in length. The pony’s heel height was 6cm from the ground to the coronet. He has had an acute laminitis episode about 6 months prior to this.
