Endocrinopathic laminitis in horses and ponies has the potential to cause extensive damage to the feet before clinical signs of laminitis are apparent. Early diagnosis and intervention based on the detection and control of hyperinsulinemia are critical if the crippling changes that are seen in the disease are to be avoided. Preventing endocrinopathic laminitis, rather than treating it, is good practice management benefiting not only equine patients but also their owners.
马和矮种马的内分泌性蹄叶炎有可能在蹄叶炎的临床症状出现之前对蹄部造成广泛损伤。如果要避免在该疾病中出现严重损害，基于高胰岛素血症的检测和控制进行早期诊断和干预至关重要。预防内分泌性蹄叶炎，而非治疗它，是良好的实践管理，不仅有利于马匹患者，也有利于它们的主人。
