jschipper - 2016-05-24 12:23 PM jd&ez - 2016-05-22 10:13 AM Ventipulmin is the better product. So what if the other stuff is "natural"? That's nothing but a marketing gimmick. That's kinda like the people that talk about "natural" dewormers. It's still poison and kills the worms. Or, if it doesn't, why use it at all?
Hemlock sap is all natural too. Bet you don't want to take a big drink of that all natural sap. Poison ivy is all natural as well. Bottom line, use what's best for the horse's condition. DISAGREE!!! I have a mare who is EXTREMELY sensitive to steroids and they will kill her... in fact when we were initially treating her IAD, they almost did. O2 has been a god sent for her. It is not a gimmick and until you have a horse that absolutely cannot have chemical medications, you don't realize how scary they can be!
I didn't say that there weren't horses that can handle it... but to say that chemicals are ok for EVERY horse and the other stuff is bs is wrong. O2 has made a huge difference in my mare and ventipulmin almost killed her. That's my experience. Period. |

Location: Lala Land | My gelding is COPD not IAD, but he does very well with the Cur-Ost Total by itself. I have used Venti and O2 and like both actually. If I use venti I will give him 3cc the night before, morning of, and 1.5 that evening. That has worked for me in very humid conditions, but I will say I have used the O2 in same conditions and he did great with no trouble. It's just more expensive. |

You "disagree"?? WTF?? I said "bottom line, use what's best for the horse's condition". You "disagree". Again, WTF??
So you shouldn't use what's best for the horse? "Disagree" all **** day long then. |

Location: Delaware | Have you considered trying Equipulmin? I've tried several treatments for allergies and that is the best thing so far. My guy has been on it a week and I noticed improvement within two days. One cough the day after he started it and none since. It's supposed to be good for any type of respiratory issues. |

Lots of gals that rodeo hard and are criss-crossing the country have their horses on Equipulmin or Bev's for allergies. They are being assaulted by different allergens every few hours. |

| I've dealt with allergies for the last 3 yrs & this yr was th first time I count ride/run him during the summer months. First time I've done on my own no vet, I used essential oils, bought a equiresp (use sometimes with oils) & OE WIND. My guy has SWOLLEN nasal passages only with his allergies. All allergies are different. I also do a daily dose of Spirulina for his Imune system. Oh & what will ALWAY be in my trailer now "VICKS VAPOR RUB" to put in his nostrils. Vicks is the only way I can exercise at home.
OE wind & Vicks before I run. |

| I've used ventpulmin a few times. Made my horses kinda high and really gets their heart racing. I would avoid it if possible. |

No to Ventipulmin, can cause heart attacks! Instead, try Oxy-Gen Rush or Finish Line's Air Power.

Location: Texas | ~BINGO~ - 2016-09-09 3:41 PM As far as the Equipulmin goes, at $150/ gallon, how much is administered and how long does a gallon last for one horse? A dose is 60cc. One gallon = 3785cc = 63 / 60cc doses. At $150 gallon = $2.38/dose (not including shipping cost).
Dosages:
To maintain a healthy respiratory system:
60cc- Daily
Mucus & Breathing Disorder:
60cc- 3 times a day until horse improves.
Bad Bleeders:
120cc 3 times a day for first 2 days, then 60cc 3 times per day until race day.
Pre-Race:
120cc, 30 - 60 minutes before race.
60cc, 30 – 60 minutes before exercise, jog or workout.
Ingredients:
Rosemary, Honey, Witch Hazel, Fenugreek Seed, Black Seed, Damiana Leaves, Marshmallow, Sage, Juniper Berries, Chamomile Flowers, Cloves, Spearmint, Cinnamon, Thyme, Potassium Sorbate.
*Due to the unique, holistic properties of EquiPulmin and variations in horse’s needs, dosages may vary and there is absolutely no risk involved in using more than the recommended amount or obtaining any negative side effects.
