Laminitis: Video Lecture on Metabolic Pathway for Hoof Blog Readers

Please allow sufficient time for this video to load.

Settle down...You needed to get out of the heat anyway. Take an hour to catch up on the latest information about laminitis, with a special emphasis on insulin resistance and Equine Metabolic Syndrome.
What this is: a one-hour video Powerpoint lecture by Dr. Don Walsh on the latest research and horse management information related to laminitis, primarily via the metabolic pathway common in pleasure horses. A preliminary explanation of the septis-related form of laminitis is provided to differentiate between the two main forms of the disease.
Thanks to EquiSearch.com and EQUUS magazine for hosting "Laminitis Lessons: A Webinar for Every Horse Owner" with The Animal Health Foundation's Don Walsh, DVM, and for making this video archive available to readers of The Hoof Blog.

Dr. Walsh
The Foundation is a leading funder of laminitis research and education around the world; it relies solely on donations from individual horse owners and horsecare professionals like you and me to fund research at Dr. Chris Pollitt's Australian Equine Laminitis Research Unit as well as at leading veterinary colleges like Cornell University's equine genetics lab and the labs of private professional researchers like Katy Watts of safergrass.org.

It's not enough just to soak up the information shared in this webinar. It's not enough even to share this video and the information in it with horse owners or horsecare professionals. Please help by sharing information about the Animal Health Foundation, too and by supporting it with your donation--no matter how small--and encouraging others to do the same.

Without a doubt, horses who have laminitis--and horses who might be risk for laminitis--have benefited from the work of the Animal Health Foundation. Directly or indirectly, you have too. Please give back; the Animal Health Foundation will put your donation to work immediately.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS (you should see a little envelope at the bottom of this post, which will allow you to email it, or you can use the Facebook or Twitter tools to share it) to horse owner friends, veterinarians, farriers, vet techs and anyone else who would benefit from or be interested in information from the Animal Health Foundation's "Laminitis Lessons".
About Dr. Walsh and the AHF: 
Dr Walsh and his wife Diana founded the grassroots, all-volunteer, non-profit organization known as The Animal Health Foundation in the 1990s to fund laminitis research. Dr. Walsh was a full-time equine practitioner in Pacific, Missouri at that time. Since they began, AHF has been able to donate more than $1 million to research, primarily through small donations from horse owners who lost a horse to laminitis.

Early on, the Animal Health Foundation identified Dr. Chris Pollitt and his Australian Equine Laminitis Research Unit at the University of Queensland as a primary beneficiary of support from the AHF. 
After his retirement from active practice last year, Dr. Walsh traveled to Australia to conduct research with Dr. Pollitt and his team and has now returned to the USA to share what he learned there and from other AHF-funded projects around the USA. 
Dr. Walsh recently received the Merial Lifetime Achievement Award at the 6th International Equine Conference on Laminitis and Diseases of the Foot. This year, Dr. Walsh is beginning a national tour of veterinary colleges around the world to educate students about laminitis. He is known for his straightforward, down-to-earth speaking style, has a great skill for explaining complex concepts in a meaningful way, and is a dedicated horseowner himself.

See you there!
