COPD update for Shysmum

[Highmileagecob]

Thank you for your recent posts, in which you have shared your herbal mix for COPD support. I divided your suggested amounts by four, and started with 500mls of the mix. The garlic oil had to be banished to a shelf in the woodstore! My cob has been coughing for the past month, probably due to pollen and horse fly bites - nothing major, just the odd cough every five minutes or so. He has stayed on Piriton, and I have added the mix to his feed. Today is day eight, and I have not heard him cough today during grooming and hoof cleaning. Fingers crossed that this will continue, and thank you so much for the recipe share!

I have the ingredients ready, Rigs doesn't start coughing until August (going on past 2 years).

Will update when he starts and has the mixture.

I'm debating trying this when I run out of Balsamic Air. I have to treat my horse for a few days every now and again in the summer when it's so dry and dusty. With no rain in the forecast, I imagine I'll have to do so again soon.

Mine is an actual allergy. He is fine with general dust, even dusty hay (Yay, doesn't need every scrap soaking any more!). It just comes on for a few weeks a year.

Sounds like there is something in the air in August! Mine usually has another episode when the balsam weeds come into flower, which they are starting to do now.

Mine has an actual allergy too. He's been allergy tested, scoped, and washed. He's allergic to a few things but I can generally manage him without meds, but it does come on/flare up around certain times.
