Feeling better!  Scope showed no bleeding or lesions in lungs.......but rather has mucous and an infection....red in the trachea, so the blood seems to have come from there.   Treating with abs

mouse - 2017-06-06 8:43 AM pretty much sick to my stomach over this ~  Going to the vet tonight, would love to have had him scoped right after his run, but this is the soonest it could be done.  At least it should show past lesions if there are any???  He has been run by me past several years, and just had a drop of blood a month ago, no blood last 3 weeks, and then more than a drop this past weekend.   No silliness, and working great.   Have not seen any blood until a couple hours after the run...........I am going to try the pulmonary shield by gateway products......and prob lasix for a while, which I really do not want to use ......have you tried that product?   

 I have tried all kinds of products with no success except with lasix.   I have found  lasix to not be as frightening as others finf using it.  He runs on 4 cc 3 hours out and I paste with electrolytes after a run.  We have owned him 12 years, looks great, runs great, I have seen no  long term effects from the lasix.  I am a weekend warrior, he runs maybe 3 times a month.  I have him scoped every couple of years and his lungs look great. 

thankyou..........the Lasix stories I hear scare me. Will know more after tonight. He is in shape, but I know not in the tip top shape I have had him in previous years, so I partly blame myself. He has not shown any gate issues, or blowing off during the run. Working really well actually........A journey I don't want to take, but here we go

 I don't understand? What about Lasix scares you? Make sure your horse has a good electrolyte after a run with access to water. Also if it's way to hot or humid it's a judgment call from any horse to be ran not just a Lasix horse. Using Lasix is a lot less scary then having a horse bleed and get a lung infection causing scaring and lung damage... Which will potentially make the horse forced into retirement.
