Pain management is of upmost importance. Every case is different - some horses respond to treatment immediately and some don't. Depending on the serverity of the case, and proper care taken by all parties will depend on how long it will take a horse to recover from Laminitis. Even at that - some horses don't make it through. Laminitis, if caught, and treated at the first sign of lameness can offer you the best chance to control damage to the hoof. If not, than a laminitic horses condition can depreciate quickly - even 2-3 weeks after onset. Damage within the hoof from laminitis occurs even before lameness is noted. Very close attention should be made by all parties involved in a laminitic horses care. Good luck and Thanks Andrew Grimm, CF, RJF Hi Kaitlyn,

Just wondering how long does foundering go for approx? Many thanks, Kaitlyn Hi,
