L.E.A.D.S. is an acronym for the Laminitis Equine Absolute Diagnosis System, a device that can be used to more accurately and swiftly diagnose Laminitis, a debilitating and often deadly disease that affects horses and other hoofed animals. The L.E.A.D.S. is a rectangular pad with a spongy side that a veterinarian presses into the bottom of the animal’s hoof that can quickly and easily provide the x-rays, venograms and radiography needed to accurately diagnose laminitis, and a hard side that electronically displays all of the results and data from the tests. Early detection of Laminitis will give affected animals a much better chance of survival.
