On 5/24/10 my 7-year old APHA mare Leo was diagnosed with acute laminitis. She battled courageously for 4 months, spiraling downhill as her bones sank, rotated & ultimately started to die. On 9/24/10 she went to Happy Horsey Heaven where she now runs & plays in perfect health. I created this blog to keep people informed of her progress. Now that she's gone I hope other owners can use it as a learning tool, as well as a place to share their experiences with people who understand.

Welcome!
Welcome to my new blog! Not much info at this point - just getting things started. I can't say I'm happy about the reason that drove the creation of this blog (Leo's laminitis), but hopefully other owners will be able to access it to learn more about this awful disease.
Many thanks to all of my family & friends who have been so supportive through Leo & my battle - you have all been amazing! Also a special thank you to Dr. Deron Nelson and the team at West Michigan Veterinary Service; they've been Johnny-on-the-spot answering my myriads of questions and giving Leo the best treatment possible.
More to come, but glad you're here!
