Does it mention the timing in that description? Perhaps it is after the initial acute phase and icing? To speed recovery in the secondary phase of it?

I found this:

Treatment regimens for acute laminitis are primarily based on the experience and results of retrospective studies. The goals fo treatment are 1) to prevent the development of laminitis, 2) to reduce the pain or hypertension cycle, 3) to reduce or to prevent permanent laminar damage 4) to improve dermal laminar capillary hemodynamics and 5) to prevent movement of the distal phalanx. Acute laminitis should be considered a medical emergency, and treatment should be initiated as soon as possible, preferably before clinical signs develop.

So far I can't find where it says exactly when to do what. I'll keep reading.

If it says in this book when to start a treatment and what to use, I can't find it. I'll keep looking and if I find something, I'll post it to you.
