Diseases of the Respiratory System

Chapter 58 Diseases of the Respiratory System


Respiratory diseases are a problem for horse owners because of their effect on animal performance. A slight respiratory problem may cause a small impairment in the performance of the animal, but that small degree of impairment may make the difference between finishing a race in the money or going home with empty pockets. For diseases that cause coughing and nasal discharge as noticed by the owner, rest has been promoted as one part of the treatment. As the animal is rested, it is losing training and performance time.
