|
How does the pathogenesis of laminitis occur with the vasoconstriction theory? |
Vascular damage -> ischemia -> coagulopathy -> increased blood flow to hoof w/ DECREASED capillary perfusion -> ISCHEMIA IN HOOF -> pain! -> inflammatory mediator release -> more ischemia -> loss of support between dermal and epidermal laminae -> separation of distal phalanx (P3) from hoof --> epidermal hyperplasia of laminae- wedge |
|
|
