Mini Shetland kind of coughing

[roxy007]

One of our mini shetlands seems to cough every now and again when eating (its not choke) and it happens when she is grazing or just a short time after. She has had a bit of sweet itch this year for the first time but there are no raw patches now along her neck and this seems to have settled since changing her into a paddock with less natural shelter. She looks well otherwise but not sure what this is. She has no runny discharge from either her nose or eyes but I've only noticed this since she was put into a different paddock to restrict her grazing and doesn't seem to have become any worse in the last 2 weeks but equally it hasn't got any better. Any ideas what this could be >

try a resprator lick in her her field to help with her cough to see if that clears it up!

Or you could just give her some Kofeeze ( i think NAF make it) its v good! My shetland has had a bit of a cough this year too.

or even try cough power booster by equi mins it is about 8 pound a bottle it has honey with it so it is fantastic clears the throat chest and lungs!

it could be pollen related my mates horse has had a niggling cough for months now, you could try benelyn from your chemist and alos you could add some local honey in her food just in case it is pollen this could also help
