When horses cough, immediate action is needed

Horsetalk.co.nz When horses cough, immediate action is needed Share If your horse starts coughing, it needs to be investigated and diagnosed without delay, as management can be key to preventing further damage caused by equine asthma, researchers say. Prevention of airway problems is the best way to protect your horse from equine asthma, but if this is not successful, early intervention is paramount, a group of researchers from around the world noted in Frontiers in Veterinary Science. Equine asthma, commonly referred to as heaves, Recurrent Airway Obscruction (RAO) or Inflammatory Airway Disease (IAD), starts off with a hypersensitivity reaction to particles in the air (e.g., dust, mould). These particles cause inflammation in the airways and restrict airflow.

Study Recommends Breed-Specific Clenbuterol Thresholds

The results of the “Clenbuterol plasma concentrations after therapeutic administration in fit Standardbred horses: threshold recommendations” study published online after peer review in Comparative Exercise Physiology clearly demonstrate and recommend the need for different withdrawal times and threshold levels for harness racing than the current standards that exist for Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing. The goal of this study was to identify a withdrawal time guideline for use of clenbuterol at dose levels approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in harness racing, where horses may start (race) at seven-day intervals. Three members of the Harness Racing Medication Collaborative Kenneth McKeever, PhD FACSM; George Maylin, DVM, MS, PhD; and Clara Fenger DVM, PhD, DACVIM collaborated on the study.

Happy Ending To Solving An Equine Respiratory Mystery

Of the over 80 percent of active sport horses estimated to have some degree of respiratory problem, many show no obvious symptoms. That was not the case with Dr. Robin Reid-Burke s homebred 4-year-old, Louis. He had a really, really terrible cough and nasal discharge, explains the veterinarian, owner of Millcreek Equine Veterinary Services and an Ontario hunter/jumper competitor. Respiratory issues are often triggered by environmental irritants, but Dr. Reid-Burke was confident that wasn t the case with Louis. He never had any history of respiratory problems. We foaled him at our home farm and he lived out all day. At night, he lived in the barn, which is wide open in the summer months and always well ventilated. We didn t think there was any relationship between the coughing and the stall or stable environment.
