Location: Georgia		There are sooooo many reasons why a horse can bleed. It's really important to find out why... and treat it accordingly. But do not ignore it

Location: Depew, Oklahoma		Again, I appreciate each and everyone of you. I believe if you want to know about an issue ask the source. Different regions but yet similar responses. Although I don't barrel race, I have been obsessed with barrel horses and the bleeding issue since the first NFR barrel horse I assisted with during the ten days of the NFR. With every response I hope to understand more pertaining to the owners dedication in preventing EIPH in their horses and the products they used not eliminating bleeding but to control chronic bleeding during competition. I actually had the exact issue with my husband. Hospitalized 4 days to eventually learning after scoping he had busted capillaries. Scary, when he spit out blood for 3 of those days. This is not just animal related. It happens to humans also. Their are medical reasons why it happens to humans which is described more technical than pertaining to our horses. Naturally he wasn't prescribe Lasix to prevent this from happening again. For now I do believe that Lasix is the only solution offered that is effective on the US market today. I hope one day to see that change. I do feel comfortable that a solution is in the near future.

flyingcbarranch - 2015-01-07 1:25 PM Interested in hearing your personal experiences pertaining to bleeding and how it's effected your horses performance and other related health issues caused by bleeding.
I have a SEVERE bleeder.  My vet and I had to work hard to get him balanced and to find a combo that worked to stop the bleeding.  I run him on 5cc lasix and 5cc kentucky red - I use air power and electrolytes for him as well.  I have to be careful about anything respiratory wise - etc. I cant tie out close to warm up due to dust - I dont keep much shavings in trailer due to dust - if he has the slightest cough/cold I turn him out til it totally resolves - he is worth the extra work

He is legged up and in top shape before I make any runs on him too  - I havent had any other issues with him besides the bleeding
