Founder is the last stage of laminitis. If the horse is flat, and the shoes are hot, especially before, immediately call your veterinarian. Do not waste your time with him, it is very painful. Founder can be fatal, but can be treated if detected in the first stage of laminitis. When has laminitis, one of the founders made progress, the horse stood in front of legs and feet stretched forward. Something like that, lean stretch like dogs and cats. It tries to gain the weight on the front legs. Founder can be treated but recovery is long, arduous and expensive. If) the suspicion that this could be laminitis, NO (and let your vet take a "wait and see" kind of attitude that life is horses. Good luck.

Feel your neck at the top, so it is very difficult and I mean really hard, a good indicator, as if in walking, such as sore feet. Solution to the pen and the flow is less than good quality food and take on weight when it failed again and the founders. If it happened before, you may not be able to ride the horse forever. have a vet check it out if you want, good for the horses. Good luck.

Founder is a disease that occurs when a horse with laminitis is the inclusion of too many carbohydrates and starch into sugar. Laminitis causes fever, that the effects of the inner tissues of the foot plates and the causes of the founders. Obesity is another problem. If the horse has laminitis, you can avoid, the founder of potions you can cut your feet on the temperature and the appearance of distance from the tip of the horses to relieve pressure on the toes. His horse has a fever and are hot on their heels. It may be lame and cranky from the pain or discomfort in the foot. If it is then the founder of the helmets or coring a plaque and ring wavy lines known as fever. There is no cure for founder laminitis as soon as it found, only prevention of laminitis. Cut to grow your foot every 4 weeks and is faster and perhaps cash for shoes when the horse is lame. The annual rings and to heal the horse, but it takes time. Be sure to let his horse graze on the pasture in the spring for the lighting for about a week and do not feed the IRCH alfalfa hay, without mixing with Timothy. Not to your horse, feed grains and oats, and do not get tired or obese, as this greatly increase the risk of laminitis leads to failure if not treated. Good luck.

Laminitis is a debilitating and painful on the feet of the horse. The horses are recognized on the basis of lameness, stiffness, resistance to the movement and prolonged supine position. Usually affects more than one foot at a time. The process of the disease laminitis affects the connective tissue ( "Leaf"), which bind together and the inner wall of the hoof capsule to the coffin bone (the bones of the legs of the horse). This disease of the connective tissue is very painful and in severe cases can lead to structural disattachment and commitment.

What is the "founder"?

The term "founder" is often used synonymously with laminitis. However, in the opinion of some practitioners, the term "founder" of horses in which the union of the inner wall of the hoof, the coffin bone actually broke off and let the coffin bone changes reserving its position inside the helmet. The horse's weight is important in this context, a contribution to the process of distraction by the deep flexor tendon.

Predispose

Obesity. Heavy horses have a higher risk for severe laminitis, because he is more emphasis on lameinae

Some plants #. The ingestion of endophyte-infected fescue proposed increase in the risk of laminitis.

# Hypothyroidism. Many endocrine disorders has been proposed to increase the risk of laminitis too. In addition, high levels of cortisol has been shown too much or too little hormone others that cause laminitis. No evidence of laminitis caused by hypothyroidism, but some horses are obese, low thyroxine. The reason for this is unknown.

# Total lack of potassium in the body. Some plans may not have enough potassium can increase the risk of laminitis.

Stress #. Stressful events that cause the endogenous production of cortisol seems to lead to increased laminitis.

Conformation # Hoof / Forge. Small feet in relation to body size, and other helmet poorly characterized conformational changes may influence the risk of laminitis too. ExcessiveForge, especially with hard work on hard ground, is a major threat to laminitis.

# Age. Laminitis is probably never horses less than 10 months.

# Race / Genetics. Miniature breeds do not seem to be at risk of laminitis.

# Concrete and paved surfaces. Horses that spend a lot of time very hard surfaces, seems to be a risk laminitis.

# Anterior lamellar Disease. One of the horses are at increased risk of new outbreaks of laminitis, according to the development of the disease to the first. This particularly applies to the first attacks of laminitis.

# The use of certain medications. Glucocorticoid steroids such as dexamethasone and triamcinolone appears to lead to laminitis.

In general, the heat in the foot and leg, in combination with an unpleasant smell of the first clear evidence.

Contrary to what the other says, idiot, being fat has nothing to do with it. It is by the fever of rich food causes. (think "drop" in people, caused by too rich foods, especially offal)

In addition, proceeds from yellow teeth only that regular brushing horse! , 0p

A good way to verify the founder, if the horse does not act to normal, and perhaps much sleep. In addition, if your horse rolls, and if he did not shake his body, then there is a clear indication that your horse is sick! Always check that because it was prooved that after a horse rolled always shakes itself off. Even the smallest! But if your horse does not shake at all, then you will definitely get sick! Not a particular disease, but sick with something! Always remember, so check it! Even if your horse rolls in and starts to gallop, so make sure it is shaken. It may take several minutes for the dust they vibrate if there is something else in mind, though!

Founder has nothing to do with weight, while a fat horse is an increased risk.

Founder or laminitis is a fever in the feet caused by swelling of the soft tissues that causes the coffin bone can rotate. If you spin enough, he will fall straight through the bottom of the fuselage. It is almost inevitable at this point.

Several factors can cause the founders - the overloading of the protein is usually caused by too much grain, or a sudden overload of rich alfalfa or grass, plus a hot or dehydrated horses, riding hard on a hard surface such as a path, a disease with high fever, sometimes a long tour trailer.

Once the road is the workhorse of the auction, declined animals - too many hours in the heat on a hard surface.

Having failed the horse, it will be easier to drop him next time.

Symptoms: Changing weight, not being able to walk, lameness, heat in the feet, in search of puddles or in sweat.

Character of the founders toe past, which grow faster than the heels, a thin white line between the tip of the hoof wall aloneAUSE deterioration of White Line Fever or feet of animals with the toe ring is growing faster than the rest of the hoof, intermittent claudication, pain on hard surfaces, are not willing to point just before printing the frog.

Good luck.
