The America Association of Equine Practitioners is calling for assistance to help unravel the long list of 'unknowns' in laminitis. With a total of $1 million in funding, the projects first study is going to utilize the wealth of information that can be gathered from across the USA in real cases of laminitis to try and piece together information that will help us better understand this devastating disease. More information about the project can be found here: http://www.aaep.org/laminitis_project.htm

If you are a horse owner with a horse at risk or affected by laminitis, ask your veterinarian to join the project by first registering to participate. (Please note that horses with a history of laminitis are excluded from the study.)

This is a wonderful initiative that we encourage you to support.
