Those of you who use Equipulmin on your bleeders and have had success -- what dosages are you using it at? NOT looking for opinions on bleeders... just looking for dosing on Equipulmin.. I know what the bottle says but seeing what others have tried and had success with :) TIA!!!!

I don't know anyone that uses it but i'm sure curious too
I've been using it on my futurity colt when I haul him indoors or do long conditioning works and I really like it. Was using ABR breather on my bleeder last year and liked it but Equipulmin is alot more affordable!!!
My mare isn't a bleeder but she has COPD and I've been doing 60cc 2x a day. I haven't cut back yet as I'm trying to get her back into shape and want her to have some extra support. Not a lot of into out there for this product but I've been pleasantly surprised.

I have a client using it in her bleeder. We have individualized her use according to weather conditions, etc. we have found variables that impact her horse are extreme heat, extreme cold, high humidity. She gives 30cc per day . Two days out from a run increases it 30cc am and 30cc pm. Days of competition 60cc in am and another 90cc 1 hour before she runs. It took a bit of experimenting to get it right for this horse but no more ventipulmin/dex needed or use of lasix. Horse hacked up a ton of phlegm and cleared the airways on EP which wasn't happening on the Rx. The horse has not bled now for a good 6 months. I use it for a horse with a cough during warm up. I was giving it daily 30cc daily and 60cc days he ran. Now I only have to give 30cc 1 hr out of running and no cough.
