Abstract

Laminitis in horses is inflammation and congestion of the foot. It is an extremely painful process that constitutes a medical emergency due to the risk of worsening and complications that can lead to death. Therefore, this work was developed focused on the severity of the problem and the need to diagnose and treat the disease early. As laminitis does not have a specific treatment, it is necessary to discover the primary cause as soon as possible so that treatment can be carried out so as not to harm the animal. This article has the general objective of facilitating the understanding of laminitis, bringing to light its main characteristics, its occurrence and treatment.
