PANEL DISCUSSION DESCRIPTION

The understanding of equine laminitis is constantly evolving and diagnostic testing techniques along with treatment and management strategies continue to develop at pace.

This interactive multi-speciality panel discussion will cover the recent developments in the management of laminitis including insulin control and how to best use SGLT-2 inhibitors e.g. ertugliflozin, radiographic confirmation of acute laminitis and what screening tools can be used to confidently identify at-risk horses before they reach an acute laminitic crisis. Strategies for managing those cases that don’t respond to initial treatment will be discussed and questions and comments will be welcomed.

Andrew graduated from the University of Queensland School of Veterinary Science in Australia, His PhD studies focused on the effects of therapeutic hypothermia on the development of laminitis. After completing a large animal medicine residency at New Bolton Center, and seven years at the University of Queensland as a faculty member and clinician, Andrew again returned to New Bolton Center in 2017 to focus on laminitis research as the Dean W. Richardson Endowed Chair of Equine Disease Research. Andrew's research goal is to identify the key mechanisms that lead to different forms of laminitis in order to develop clinically applicable strategies for prevention.

Dr. Pullen received his received his D.V.M. degree from Cornell University, and currently travels between the Northeast and Texas managing a diverse caseload of horses of various breeds and disciplines. Dr. Pullen focuses exclusively on the treatment of lameness and diseases associated with the foot, often in collaboration with his mentors Drs. Ric Redden and Sammy Pittman. He specializes in treating complex foot issues such as laminitis, podotrochlosis (navicular disease), white line disease, soft tissue injuries, septic pedal osteitis, angular limb deformities and variety of other conditions.

Dr. Pullen’s dedication to the area therapeutic farriery is demonstrated through his work as a lecturer at numerous podiatry seminars and continuing education events, both within the U.S and internationally.
