Mission Statement: To engage veterinarians, farriers, caretakers and the greater equine community in a collaborative effort to advance, expand and disseminate knowledge through research and collective experiences to effectively prevent and treat equine laminitis and diseases of the foot.
Dear Friends and Colleagues:
It doesn't seem possible that the 2nd Laminitis West Conference is just around the corner on September 17-18 in Monterey. If you haven't registered for 13 hours of top tier continuing education then please take a moment to register on the Web at:www.laminitisconference.com as soon as possible; space is limited at the Conference Hotel - Monterey Marriott.
The Conference spans two days with international experts and teams of veterinarians and farriers from across the country presenting challenging cases to share with you.
Here is a snapshot of some of what to expect at the 2nd Laminitis West Conference:
- What you missed at the 5th International Equine Conference on Laminitis and Diseases of the Foot - the highlights!
- The role of exercise in the management of insulin resistance.
- Managing the nutritional risks in the pre and post-laminitic horse
- Hoof balance and in-shoe force measurements.
- Rehabbing the horse with chronic laminitis.
- Cushing's Disease and its relationship to laminitis!
- How to perform and interpret the digital venogram in the laminitic horse.
- What role do platelets play in laminitis?
- Diagnosing and treating foot infections.
- Hoof wall resection and shoeing!
- Translational Medicine - from bench to barn!
There is much more time to interact and discuss your special cases with our top tier faculty - don't miss the opportunity!
See you in Monterey!
