Anyone nebulize albuterol instead of giving Lasix prerace?

I don't use Albuterol but I nebulize ipratropium bromide. Its a bronchodilator like Albuterol but it lasts 6 hours instead of an hour.  I give it plus lasix for Allergies.  But it will not keep a horse from bleeding. It opens airways but there is no research I am aware of a bronchodilator souly alone prevents bleeding. 

BE careful if you do this and dont do it within 2 hours of your race.  I tried this on my rock solid, gave same run every run 1 D mare to see if it would help(she was a bleeder) It made her so jittery and nervous and sweaty and when it came time for my run she literally lapped the arena, never saw the barrels! 

Be very very careful with Albuterol...I would not ever recommend giving this to a horse before any kind of performance. In racing, this drug is completely banned. Some trainers will still give small doses to horses before a breeze in the mornings...last year, at the track I was at, we had 6 horses have heart attacks in the middle of breezing due to albuterol. This drug gets their hearts racing, they get sweaty, nervous, they are pretty much coming out of their skin just standing in their stall. I would not ask my horse to perform when their heart beat is already up that high. 

Affects me the same way! Especially if I haven’t had to use it in awhile. My son experienced the same when he first started taking it for asthma attacks. I don’t understand how it could help a bleeder, though. 

Any idea what dosage those horses were given? Thanks!

I've had some get muscle trembling, sweaty and high as a kite with only 2cc...but it was also not given through a nebulizer. I am not sure if that would change the dosage effects or not, sorry!

This is why I like to nebulize things... you loose that systemic effect from giving things orally. Nebulizing brochodilators and steroids for IAD and allergies is so much safer when done correctly due to going directly to the lungs.
