Can a Drug Prevent Laminitis in Horses? – The Horse

Australian researchers recently tested whether velagliflozin could help prevent laminitis in horses and say it’s showing promising results i

TheHorse.com | 24 June, 2019

“If insulin dysregulation is the main cause of the hoof disease laminitis, why don’t we use drugs to help regulate insulin levels and, thus, prevent laminitis in horses?

Well, we would, except there aren’t any. At least not yet. Australian researchers say there might be new medication in the pipeline, and it’s showing promising results in early trials.

A drug called velagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransport 2 inhibitor, is designed to stop high glucose concentrations from circulating in the blood by encouraging the kidneys to release it into urine. Doctors already use similar drugs to treat human metabolic syndrome, and this particular one could help horses with insulin dysregulation, as well, said Martin Sillence, BSc (Hons), PhD, professor of biological sciences at Queensland University of Technology, in Brisbane, Australia.”

Day 4 in South Dakota: We added dental work to our repertoire. Got to float lots of teeth and work on other techniques in addition to learning about eye, skin, and hoof treatments. #isucvm #equinemedicine #veterinarymedicine (at Crow Creek, South Dakota) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByzFl1RJe1l/?igshid=14c7h1pdgb0ul

Day 3 in South Dakota: Lots of horses, lots of mini horses, lots of PEs, vaccines, castrations, and eye treatments. The little brown horse had posterior uveitis in both eyes (didn’t have time to get pictures), and was foundering 🐴❤️ #isucvm #equinemedicine #veterinarymedicine (at Crow Creek, South Dakota) https://www.instagram.com/p/BywTgYsJMYD/?igshid=18vww9rg6i7kz

The next time they tell you Americans are “happy” with their employer provided health insurance remember that that “happiness” is fueled by willful ignorance of what the alternatives are really like and fear of losing what little crappy health care they currently have.

-20 F! How cold is that you wonder? Cold enough for #iowastateuniversity to cancel classes for two and a half days. But don’t worry, our thoughtful instructors at #isucvm uploaded their lectures so we can continue chugging right along. 🥶 Yay... he said sarcastically #vetmed #iowa #frozeninplace #veterinarymedicine #veterinarian #polarvortex (at Ames, Iowa) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtQ2WWwgFYK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1crvvj5vqj1bn

What a great way to spend part of my birthday. The #isucvm chapter of #aabp held a wetlab this morning where we learned how to physical exams, rectal palpation,ruminal tubing, drenching, bolusing, milking, and mastitis testing. Needless to say, it was a great morning 🐮🐄 #vetmed #bovinemedicine #dairymedicine #veterinarian #veterinária #largeanimalmedicine #moo (at Iowa State University Dairy farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpupv7InnKb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fgq2b0t76x69

What people tend to think of when they think of worms is earthworms in apples or at the end of a fishing hook or hiding from a bird. The worms that we have been learning about this semester in parasitology are far more sinister. For instance, Ancylostoma caninum, the canine hookworm. These 1/2 inch long worms have 3 pairs of teeth, are either ingested or acquired by skin penetration as larvae, migrate through blood to the lungs they either make a somatic migration through capillaries to muscle, or a tracheal migration and are coughed up and swallowed, and live as adults in the small intestine feeding on blood and laying eggs. In addition, these bloodthirsty little guys pose a threat to humans, especially humans who don’t wear shoes outside. #vetmed #zoonoticdiseases #parasitology #isucvm #veterinarymedicine #hookworms (at Ames, Iowa) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnptP71FKxE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ktchy87ml7x8
