Abstract

PURPOSE: To teach and to demonstrate the efficiency of ozone therapy in horses with chronic laminitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Six horses with chronic laminitis were treated with two ozonetherapy techniques. All horses were 4/5 or 5/5 grade lameness (1), showed severe pain in the fore limbs and were no able to move. Use used: - Inyectable distilled water - 14G Catheter needles - 500 ml blood transfusion bags - Venoset - Gloves - 60 ml syringes - 2% Lidocaine - Medicinal oxygen - Ozone generator - 21G butterfly needles 1 Spanish horse and 2 Quarter horses were treated with hyperperfusion technique via cephalic vein injecting 60 ml of distilled water previously ozonized with 85 mcgr/mL of the oxygen-ozone mixture. 1 Thoroughbred, 1 Appaloosa and 1 Quarter horse were treated with the hyperperfusion technique via the cephalic vein and with major autohemotherapy (2,3) extracting 250 ml of blood in a transfusion bag and ozonizing it with 250 ml of the ozone-oxygen mixture with concentration of 23-25 mcgr/mL. 4 horses were treated weekly for 4 sessions (Spanish, 2 Quarter horse, Thoroughbred). Those patients improved between 90 and 95%. The grade of lameness were between 1/5 and 2/5 after treatment. 2 horses (1 Quarter horse and Appaloosa) were treated once, they did not improved as they were not evaluated nor treated with the established protocol. DISCUSSION: Compared to conventional treatments (3), ozonetherapy yielded better results in time and quality of recovery. CONCLUSION: Ozonetherapy is the best choice we have developed for chronic laminitis in horses.
