About this course

Do you worry whether you’re up to date with the concept that equine laminitis is a syndrome with three forms rather than a disease?

Laminitis is a common and debilitating disease of the equine foot. There has been considerable advancement in our knowledge of the pathogenesis of this devastating condition over the last 5‐10 years. It is now believed that it is a syndrome with three forms of the disease that do not necessarily have a final common pathway. This lectures will cover the pathogenesis of the three forms of the disease, as well as how to identify high risk individual animals, treat and prevent the condition.

It is designed to give the practitioners who deal with horses an increased understanding of laminitis as well as the confidence to treat and prevent it.

A convenient and flexible way to earn some CPD hours without leaving home is to select webinars to view from our extensive library of recorded webinars. They are great value for busy practitioners seeking quality CPD at a time of their choice. Participants will receive a handout (slides and/or notes) to support their viewing session and a CPD certificate.

Participants gain access to the webinar for two weeks which allows them to view it at their leisure and convenience as well as review aspects as needed to enhance their learning.
