Clinical signs include foot tenderness progressing to inability to walk, increased digital pulses, and increased temperature in the hooves.

laminitis
Laminitis is a serious disease that affects the feet of hoofed animals, particularly horses. It involves inflammation of the laminae - the soft tissue structures that attach the pedal bone of the foot to the hoof wall. It can lead to extreme pain and disability in these animals, with severe cases potentially causing the pedal bone to rotate or sink and result in lameness or even euthanasia. Cause of the disease can often be nutritional, mechanical or due to a systemic disease.
