Do you have your results already, or does it just feel it went badly? Cos Uni exams can be like that.
Either way, all the best for your other exams, we're all routing for you
Hey Dan, guess what?
the exams are over! got the marks not entirely happy so far, still waiting on Chem results, but yes i havve to work extremely hard on the end of semester tests.
so where to start.. i have to go find that question you asked me.. time to answer
"What is laminitis?
What animal gets it?
How do you diagnose and treat it?"
Off you go!!
Get it right and I'll share a story!!
OK i found the question down to the dirty work.. what is laminitis?
Okay this is inflammation of the laminae of the hoof, so to answer the next question it is most commonly found in horses, (can cattle, sheep and deer also get it though?) is also called founder How do you diagnose or treat it?
The laminae become inflamed because of congestion of blood and accumulation of toxins in the hoof region resulting from any of several causes, e.g., consumption of large quantities of grain; ingestion of large amounts of cold water by overheated horses. The signs of acute laminitis appear rapidly and include sweating, a rise in temperature to as high as 62°C, a pounding pulse in the hoof, an expression of anxiety, and a stance with the legs forward of their natural position so as to reduce the pain of weight bearing. Chronic laminitis is characterized by a shifting or rotation of the bone and other anatomical distortions in the hoof.
The disease is treated by eliminating the causative factors, administering drugs for the acute form, and trimming hooves and fitting corrective horseshoes for the chronic form. (okay so that wasnt in my own words entirely but i did my research )
hows that Dan?
