not sure if its just our little pony but this year he is really struggling from the pollen especially his breathing

the vets been out and is not worried about him as hes within a normal horses breathing rate but he's just weezing and lokking a bit down so he is on something that i cant remember what its called to help break up the blockage

were not sure if its him as hes about 25 now and been through the works with laminitis, an eye removal and now cushings so we know hes slightly weaker but this is the 1st year that we don't have any rape near us and yet he seems alot worse from the previous years
or is it just that the pollen is extreamly strong this year?

has anyone got any tips that could help prevent this or make it easier for him once his medication has finished e.g. supplements/ products?
 
hi my poor lad has. He has a summer version of copd which is SPAOD. It has similar sypmtons to copd but is linked more to pollens, dust and is more common at times in hot weather and humidity. It affects horses kept at grass,
My pony had to go onto ventipluim for a few days. He is a lot better
