Healthy Horse=Happy Horse

When a horse gets sick, the right thing to do is take care of it. One must treat it properly in order for the horse to get better. A healthy horse always makes a happy horse.

Here I will discuss some treatments to some of the diseases named/not named in the last post.

Treatments:

• Heaves (3 stages)
• Mild Heaves: limit the horse's exposure to allergy-producing dust and other particles
• let the horse out into fresh air
• use chest-high feeders instead of ground feeders
• remove the horse from the building/stall when cleaning the stall
• Moderate Heaves: the vet will recommend a form of treatment
• oral corticosteroids
•  oral bronchodilators
• expectorants
