Abstract

Acute laminitis is an afection of keratogene membrane with a very acute phase of evolution which need a treatment very quickly. His caused by consumption of histaminergic fodder and by exaggerated consumption of same cereals or concentrated foods contaminated by yeasts. Lack of a proper treatment applied in first signs lead to irreversible physiopathological changes and passage in chronical phase of laminitis with a grav prognosis. It was applied two therapeutical proceedings: one, clasical, based on venisection, cald hydrotherapy and antihistaminical medication, and second based on antiinflammatory, analgesical medication, neutralization of intestinal toxines and digital circulation re-estabilishment of keratogeneous membrane. Using in therapy Flumixine Meglumine, Phenylbutasone, Acepromasine, in association with a local treatment by warm compresses and Heparine, lead to significant better results then clasical terapeutical behavior. It insists on clinical signs of disease, a precocious diagnosis of disease and choose quickly a treatment for prevention of phyiopathological and morphopathological changes which can interfere still after first twelve hours after debut of disease.
