Just reading another post got me thinking.....
My mare has COPD and for the past two years has been on a supplement from the vets called Respimin. She has rubber matting/minimal shavings bed, soaked hay, as much turnout as possible. I always keep a tub of ventipulmin in stock incase she appears to flair up and this always clears any problems.
The Respimin and Ventipulmin come to £113, so evened out I probably spend (during winter anyway) perhaps £75 a month on her medication.
Just got me thinking, at some point these powders must be less effective through constant use ? I have noticed a few people mention NAF Respirator and am wondering whether to try this instead ? Although, another way of looking at it is my current system works, my girl is happy and healthy so why change what I am doing ?
Thoughts please and any feedback on Respirator would be gratefully received.
