Coughing Horse

My horse is coughing, what now?

When a horse coughs, it can lead to irritation of the mucous membranes and an increase in mucus production, which in turn can cause breathing problems. Factors such as poor quality feed and a dusty stable can contribute to this situation. Treating and preventing this problem is very important to relieve uncomfortable symptoms and maintain the horse's overall health.

Cold horse

A mild runny nose in a horse without a fever may indicate a mild cold. In most cases this will go away on its own without serious complications. However, if symptoms persist, worsen or if the horse develops a fever, it is wise to consult a veterinarian. A veterinarian can assess the situation and, if necessary, prescribe appropriate treatments to help the horse recover.
