Thoroughbred Horses and Asthma

Did you know that some horses like the Thoroughbred may be prone to asthma? If you suspect your horse is suffering from asthma contact your veterinarian. Your vet may ask you if your horse has been sneezing, heaving, or having trouble breathing. He may also want to run additional tests to find out if your horse has any specific allergies. If the source of the allergic reaction can be removed then your horse may not need any additional treatment. However, in some cases, thoroughbreds and other horses require the use of an inhaler similar to what humans use. If this is the case, you will be given a human inhaler with a special attachment that will fit the horse’s large nostrils. Repeat this treatment as directed by your vet. If there are any changes or your horse’s breathing becomes worse, call your vet Park County, CO immediately or schedule an appointment at this website Teller Park Veterinary Service.
