A Coughing Horse. Is it Inflammatory Airway Disease?

A Coughing Horse. Is it Inflammatory Airway Disease?
In the summer of 2019 parts of Australia were suffering from drought and fires. Many horses were coughing and sneezing and struggling to exercise.
Dr Leigh discusses in this short video how we can diagnose why a horse is coughing and provides a quick explanation on treatment for inflammatory airway disease.

Hey my cat has been eating clothes . Is that a problem what do I do

[@YourVetOnline]

Yes it's definitely a problem.
Make sure you put all your clothes away so that your cat can't access them.

Hello. My horse has developed a runny nose and this is now clear fluids. The cough is annoying for her but not constant. I recently moved her to a new boarding facility and she has had it for about five days now. She is eating like crazy and pooping normally. Should I be concerned?

[@YourVetOnline]

Sometimes a viral cough can take a while to clear (just like us). If she's off food or develops a high temp definitely get the vet.
Likewise if the cough persists beyond a few weeks. The vet would need to scope and perform either a BAL or tracheal wash.

@@YourVetOnline Is there a way of telling that it is indeed viral and not bacterial. She was well and fine until I moved her. Now she is around dust and mud and a prairie when before it was all treed property. I don't want her getting any other horses ill. She is peppy and hungry as ever during this. I looked at the color of the discharge from her one nostril and it has really improved in color, perhaps she is healing already?
