You are so fortunate to have so many good people to support your animals.

Excess sugar/starch intake is the leading cause of laminitis. Even small portions of grass or other feeds that have high sugar levels may trigger it. So it’s important to make some proper changes to your horse’s diet. Short, stressed grass is a nightmare for at-risk horses and ponies.
When it comes to grazing, the safest time to graze is between 3 am to 10 am. Don’t leave your equines out overnight during lush pasture as sugars are at their highest levels in the afternoons/evenings.
Avoid feeding grass to susceptible and at-risk horses and ponies as much as possible during afternoons and evenings. Feed them nutritional and high-quality hays that are low in sugar.
Changing feeds are ideally done slowly as sudden changes can also disrupt the good bacteria in their body, which can lead to more stress. A constant supply of low sugar or high-quality hay is paramount for enabling horses to recover quicker and reduce stress.
Anything that will stress a horse or pony will increase the recovery time, particularly if they have EMS (Equine Metabolic Syndrome), IR (Insulin Resistant) or Cushing’s Disease. Being starved for weight loss is a HUGE stress and will often extend the time that it takes to recover. Having a companion can also be a good stress relief as long as that companion is ‘nice.’

@moochie562February 17, 2025 - 5:30 am
Dr Lauren is definitely one of the best. It's so sad to see our Voo And Ivy in that much pain. If anyone on here suffers from fibromyalgia or Raynaud's the pain is unbearable. It almost mirrors what Voo is dealing with And I wouldn't wish that pain on anyone let alone a beautiful horse and a sweet little donkey. Continued prayers and hugs for you, Voo and Ivy. I know you've heard it before, give it to God. He will take care of it or guide you. God bless y'all, much love 💜🙏🏼🤗
@karmacrypticFebruary 17, 2025 - 5:30 am

Prayers I lost one of my boys to a hoof injury it wasn't laminitous but he threw his entire hoof
@user-yp6zk3ew1qFebruary 17, 2025 - 5:30 am
So sorry to hear about how severe Voo’s laminitis is/was. It sucks!! I remember reading thats was caused the famous racehorse, Secretariat’s demise. I think he was about the same age and had millions of dollars behind him that couldn’t fix it.

Ponytail rescue up north had a large draft horse with laminitis and his coughing bone had blown through his foot, her foot. She was a rescue from the auction. She was pregnant! They did the best they could for her to keep her comfortable, made special shoes , stale of soft bedding for her feet. The baby was born and they still did their best to keep her comfortable. She was so beautiful. The Amish should not be allowed to have horses.
