Abstract

Laminitis resulting in disruption of integrity between dermal laminae of the distal phalanx and epidermal laminae of
the hoof wall and causing severe pain and a lameness of characteristics is a complex metabolic disease. Acute gastrointestinal
disease (colic), the excessive consumption of feed grains and other diseases that cause endotoxemia occur as sequelae.
This study discussed an acute laminitis case begining after severe colic and medical therapy and corrective rasp. The horse
turned into chronic stage returned to its athletic performance by appropriate treatment and patient work.

Bir Atta Kolik Sonrası Gözlenen Laminitis Olgusu ve Tırnak Bozuklukları

Abstract

Laminitis distal falanksın dermal laminaları ile tırnak duvarının epidermal laminaları arasındaki bağlantı bütünlüğünün
bozulduğu şiddetli ağrı ve karakteristik topallığa neden olan kompleks bir metabolik hastalıktır. Akut gastrointestinal sistem
hastalığı (kolik), aşırı tane yem tüketimi ve endotoksemiye neden olan diğer hastalıkların sekeli olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu
çalışmada şiddetli kolik sonrası başlayan akut laminitis olgusu ile bu olgudaki medikal tedavi ve düzeltici törpü/nallamalar ele
alındı. Kronik safhaya geçen olguda uygun tedavi ve uzun zaman alan sabırlı bakımla atın atletik performansına dönebileceği
görüldü.
