🚨 NEW RESEARCH Could Prevent Laminitis in Horses With EMS 🚨 Laminitis is one of the most feared conditions in the horse world — and for owners of horses with Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS), the fear never fully disappears. But now, new research on SGLT2 inhibitors like bexagliflozin may offer veterinarians a powerful new tool for reducing dangerous insulin spikes linked to endocrine laminitis. In this video, we break down: 🐴 What Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) actually is 🐴 Why insulin dysregulation causes laminitis 🐴 How SGLT2 inhibitors work in horses 🐴 The newest placebo-controlled research findings 🐴 Potential risks and side effects veterinarians are warning about 🐴 Why diet and management still matter 🐴 What this could mean for the future of horse welfare and laminitis prevention This emerging research could represent one of the biggest developments in equine metabolic medicine in years — but it also comes with important cautions every horse owner needs to understand. Whether you own an EMS horse, have dealt with laminitis before, or simply want to stay informed about the latest equine veterinary research, this video explains the science in a clear and accessible way. 👇 Let me know in the comments: Have you ever managed a horse with EMS or laminitis?
