This blog is my thoughts and musing about the life of equine veterinary practice. You should always consult with your veterinarian about the health needs of your horse(s) in your specific situation. The goal of this blog is to give some insight into equine veterinary practice in Michigan and to provide a source for news and comment on equine health care.

Barbaro, Laminitis & 5 yrs.
How can you not remember Barbaro. Can you believe it has been 5 years since he defeated the field in the Kentucky Derby. He brought the world along on his journey through a catostrophic racing injury. However, that is not what ultimately led to his demise. It was laminitis in the other limb that they were not able to get under control which became the last hurdle he could not clear. Check out this video that USA Today put together about Barbaro and the ongoing war on laminitis.
