Equine Laminitis

Equine Laminitis, edited by James K. Belknap and published in 2016 by Wiley-Blackwell, was created to consolidate evolving clinical knowledge regarding one of the most debilitating conditions in veterinary medicine. The text serves as a comprehensive reference for researchers and equine practitioners, reflecting a transition in the field toward more sophisticated molecular and physiological understandings of the disease. It provides an academic framework for diagnostic approaches and therapeutic interventions that were being refined during the mid-2010s.

The volume was designed as a definitive, multi-contributor textbook, reflecting the scholarly standards of the John Wiley & Sons professional and scientific imprint. By curating chapters from experts across the globe, Belknap aimed to bridge the gap between basic scientific research and practical bedside management. The work was generally received within the veterinary community as a necessary, high-level resource for managing chronic and acute cases, emphasizing a standardized approach to an inherently complex and multifactorial pathology.
