Hi
Sorry I know this is in the wrong place, but I really need some advice.
Just looking for some advice, about 4 weeks ago my horse was struggling to breath and was heaving badly. The vet came out and prescribed Ventipulmin and said that it was COPD, advised soaking his hay.
nearly 4 weeks down the line, almost all shavings have been removed, he is out all night, has had roughly 7 tubs of Ventipulmin and 4 tubs of Sputolosin to clear a build up of mucus on chest so ventipulmin could work and I don't really feel we are any further forward. I can exercise him slowly, and his breathing has improved but is still to fast. I want the vet to endoscope him and see what is going on but he is reluctant to do this.
Has anyone else horse had a sudden attack of COPD? Any advice would be much appreciated
