Laminitis is typically classified into developmental or prodromal, acute, subacute, and chronic phases. Scientific evidence regarding the pathophysiology of laminitis does exist, but it is often conflicting and dependent on the clinician's interpretation/understanding of the study or the model used for inducing laminitis. The diagnosis of laminitis consists of obtaining an accurate history, performing a thorough physical examination, and taking good-quality radiographs. The use of radiographs for diagnosis and interpretation of laminitis is an absolute necessity for the clinician. Laminitis is one disease that requires the assembly of a team consisting of the veterinarian, the farrier, and the owner to be successfully treated.
蹄叶炎通常分为发展期或前驱期、急性期、亚急性期和慢性期。关于蹄叶炎病理生理学的科学证据确实存在，但往往相互矛盾，且取决于临床医生对研究或用于诱发蹄叶炎的模型的解释/理解。蹄叶炎的诊断包括获取准确的病史、进行全面的体格检查以及拍摄高质量的X光片。对临床医生来说，使用X光片来诊断和解释蹄叶炎是绝对必要的。蹄叶炎是一种需要由兽医、蹄铁匠和主人组成的团队共同协作才能成功治疗的疾病。
