The Risk of Equine Heaves & COPD
A horse's airway in Equine Heaves/Equine COPD reacts to a level of stimuli from allergens that do not affect normal horses. This can last for days, even after removing the offending cause. Three things occur after exposure:
- Constriction of airways - walls of airway become smaller so imagine breathing through a garden hose and then breathing through a straw
- Mucus accumulates in airway paths - this further blocks airflow. Imagine your horse sipping water through a straw and then having to sip pudding - extra effort
- Airway spasms - an already narrowed airway becomes super narrow as spasms further reduce airflow
Equine Heaves/Equine COPD can lead to such dramatic weight loss that horse starts to struggle to get up after laying down to sleep or roll. The more humid the weather, the worse it is for COPD horses. Help your horse breathe better faster - discover HEAVE HO.
