I finally found the time to do some. One thing I think animation will highlight is the stretching or tearing that happens to the laminae during acute laminitis.<P> <FONT SIZE=+3><FONT COLOR="B04074">O</FONT COLOR></FONT><FONT SIZE=+1>ne aspect of laminitis that I think should get more attention has to do with the transitional phase between developmental(my usage) and acute laminitis.<P> <FONT SIZE=+3><FONT COLOR="B04074">W</FONT COLOR></FONT><FONT SIZE=+1>hile the original cause of developmental laminitis may have been systemic, once the laminae become subjected to stretching forces a major contributor to the acute phase is now local.<P> <FONT SIZE=+3><FONT COLOR="B04074">O</FONT COLOR></FONT><FONT SIZE=+1>ne concern I have with the trend toward chemical therapies is that as effective as they may be, they would have less to reckon with if the stretching forces where not present within the hoof capsule.<P> <FONT SIZE=+3><FONT COLOR="B04074">T</FONT COLOR></FONT><FONT SIZE=+1>ry suspending yourself from the ceiling by vice grip pliers attached to your fingernails!<P> <FONT SIZE=+3><FONT COLOR="B04074">S</FONT COLOR></FONT><FONT SIZE=+1>ole support therapies are indeed effective, to a point, but they do not provide a means for P<sub>3</sub> to be "re attached" to the hoof wall the way the Heart Bar Shoe does.<P> <FONT SIZE=+3><FONT COLOR="B04074">I</FONT COLOR></FONT><FONT SIZE=+1> will be working on other animations, one will show the build up of fluids in the lamellar space with the Heart Bar Shoe in place. I hope this will demonstrate the need for resection, and the difference between HBS use and sole support use.<P> <FONT SIZE=+3><FONT COLOR="B04074">C</FONT COLOR></FONT><FONT SIZE=+1>heck out <A HREF="MovieII.html" TARGET="CONTENT">Laminitis II (THE SEQUEL)</A><P> <FONT SIZE=+3><FONT COLOR="B04074">B</FONT COLOR></FONT><FONT SIZE=+1>ack to <A HREF="FirstAid.html" TARGET="CONTENT">First Aid</A><P> <FONT SIZE=+3><FONT COLOR="B04074">B</FONT COLOR></FONT><FONT SIZE=+1>ack to <A HREF="pvd.html" TARGET="CONTENT">Top Page</A><P>
