Location: Oklahoma | Is it safe to use every time I ride? We're only legging up right now (up to to trotting) and not doing anything too strenuous.
I thought that allergy shots would help clear up my geldings cough (only coughs for a few seconds until he clears himself and doesn't cough again), but it doesn't seem to be. He used to do it when we broke into a lope, but now it's when we start trotting (but he's also out of shape). I was giving him Dex before we ran (last summer), but I don't want to have to do that every run we make.
Should I be worried about this cough, or try treating it with Air Power and see if it clears him?

| How long have you been using the allergy shots? I am getting ready to start them and my vet indicated that it could take a little while to have a full controlling effect. We are using clenbuterol in the interim to control the cough.
I used/use air power as well and noticed it helps him clear his windpipe faster, but if the allergen was still high it would not keep the cough way entirely. Allergy testing has shown that he allergic to most grass hays - which makes sense as the issue intensified as we started to get low on alfalfa and switch to grass.
I would investigate the source of the cough more. | |

I had him scoped last summer (late June) after a run (to rule out bleeding) and vet said he just had some imflammation and was most likely allergies due to the wet summer. Told me 2-5.5 cc of Dex IM two hours before I run and that's what I used for the next 5-6 times I got to run him. Then he was laid off in September and I'm just now bringing him back.... and of course, it's been a wet, wet, wet spring. Do you think a scope could find something even if he's been off for a few days and not coughed? He literally starts hacking for ten seconds, spews out a clear mist from both nostrils and doesn't do anything else until the next time I ride him. | |

Location: NE Texas | I would encourage those with horses with allergies and respiratory conditions to try the Cur-Ost products. My colt was on 8 - 10 cc of Ventipulmin, had been through anti-biotcs twice, Dexamethasone and Prednisone and was still very heav-ey. He'd been to three different vets and couldn't take a deep breath even on the high doses of Vent. He was obviously distressed physically and his body condition suffered from the condition and the fact he was getting no relief from any of the medications. I took him off of everything and after much research on several different things I ran across Curcurmin and the benefits of ingesting Curcurmin for both humans and horses. Through that research I came across the Cur-Ost/Nouvelle research company. After many consults with Dr. Tom Schell, I tried the product he suggested and in 2 weeks my horse has almost completely quit coughing, not to mention he doesn't even look like the same horse! Much of the allergy response begins with inflammation within the digestive tract and creates a hyper-active immune response causing the immune system to not work correctly resulting in allergies and many other conditions. Please take the time to read through the research and the studies. I can assure you this is one supplement you won't be sorry you invested the money in, and I had spent ALOT of money prior to this, seen several vets, had 2 different scopes done, and the vets were out of options. The last one wanted to operate.
My horse was on all kinds of stuff prior to this and i'll be happy to share all of those products with you. Once taken off EVERYTHING and given a week off, the Cur-Ost came in. The proof is in the pudding for me, and i'm so happy I contacted the company and tried this! The first pictures are March 23. The second pictures are April 25. The only thing that changed during this time was the Cur-Ost. http://www.nouvelleresearch.com/index.php/products/equine-formulas

Location: Oklahoma | OhMax - 2015-04-30 12:21 PM How long have you been using the allergy shots? I am getting ready to start them and my vet indicated that it could take a little while to have a full controlling effect. We are using clenbuterol in the interim to control the cough. I used/use air power as well and noticed it helps him clear his windpipe faster, but if the allergen was still high it would not keep the cough way entirely. Allergy testing has shown that he allergic to most grass hays - which makes sense as the issue intensified as we started to get low on alfalfa and switch to grass. I would investigate the source of the cough more.
I started them on April 7th and we just finished our first "set". I guess it was the lowest irritant level and then in four days when he starts the next set it will up the irritant factor. Then on his third set he can go 14-21 days inbetween. He has not had any adverse reactions to them, so I have spaced them four days apart (3-4 is what the instructions say). I might try doing them more frequently on the next set and see if it helps with the cough.
He does have issues with grass molds, so I will work this weekend on forking the remainder of his bermuda grass bale away from their reach. I am fine with him being in straigh alfalfa, but it's his pasture buddy that I don't want on straight alfalfa.... I guess I might see about sending him (pasture buddy) back to my parent's place and if the removal of the bermudagrass bale will help him out....
Other than that he's allergic to oats (not being fed those), black and fire ants, .... and then the world. Cocklebur, pigweed mix, pecan/hickory mix, caddisflies, and he has a candida allergy (didn't even know those were possible in horses!) It's never ending. I hope the shots start doing him some good with his cough. He would get large bumps when he was bitten by insects, but I have noticed those have gone away.... but that's just a cosmetic issue! | |

Thank you! I will try to set up another scope appointment as soon as I can. I was afraid of him being a bleeder, but he didn't show any symptoms (I just took him in after a race to be sure).... but I won't rule out being in early stages since so many horses suffer from it. I am not sure if I'm dealing with a larger problem than allergies like COPD or something of the sorts.... Finally getting to leg him back up and I'm disappointed that the cough is still present! | |

Thank you! He does have a compromised immune system (had EPM), so I can't rule that out. My gelding's case doesn't sound as severe as yours, but I don't want to risk it getting worse and have to continually treat him with Dex just to make a cough free ride. I'll be looking into it! | |

Location: Central Texas | I would definitely try to get to the root of his cough but to answer your question, yes, you can use Air Power every time you ride. The ingredients are all natural and the directions state the dosage for each exercising event, which seems to indicate it can be used consistently. I use it on my gelding who has allergies and sometimes a small "warm up" cough (yes he's been checked) and it seems to help him alot. | |

Location: NE Texas | I posted about this stuff on the "gas colic" thread also, but I haven't done my own post, because i've been so guardedly optimistic, but the change is definitely there. He's not 100% yet and is still coughing sometimes (like once or twice during a 10 minute exercise in the roundpen), but isn't coughing at all during cool down. Now keep in mind that is is going from a horse who couldn't get enough air IN to cough a little over a month ago even with 8 - 10 cc of Ventipulmin and Dex.
I have dealt with respiratory issues before with this colt and have used several other products through the years that are common knowledge to this board, but he had never gotten this bad before either. I would be happy to share the emails back and forth between myself and Dr. Schell to give anyone who is interested a little more insight to the product and how/why it works, but it makes complete sense to me. At this point i'm wondering if alot of EPM and other mystery diseases and diagnosises aren't a result of inflammation that began in the digestive tract and ended up affecting the entire body.
The craziest thing is that this colt has always been really sensitive and tickle-ish all over when you brush him and he has always been very uncomfortable and gets mad if you touch the back part of his belly toward his flank (like where a back cinch goes) even on ulcer treatments such as Ulcer-guard, Omeprazole, and Ranitidine. Since he's been on this, some of that has even gone away and he almost enjoys to be groomed and isn't so flinchy when you brush him. Before starting the Cur-Ost, he was really dandruffy and he was getting bald spots almost like he had mange. That has gone away too and his hair coat is slick and shiny.
I have to say that i'm a believer and am really glad I tried it. I am currently feeding the Total Support, the Immune formula, and the Adapt simply because my horse was in such bad shape and his immune system had seemingly shut down. Dr. Schell thinks I will be able to back that down to just the Total Support and Adapt eventually. It is expensive, but after the amount of money i've spent on vets and the money i've lost elsewhere, this is minor.

My horse was on all kinds of stuff prior to this and i'll be happy to share all of those products with you. Once taken off EVERYTHING and given a week off, the Cur-Ost came in. The proof is in the pudding for me, and i'm so happy I contacted the company and tried this! The first pictures are March 23. The second pictures are April 25. The only thing that changed during this time was the Cur-Ost.  http://www.nouvelleresearch.com/index.php/products/equine-formulas
 Dang you Herbie! Y have you not made a post about this woman!?!? I almost didn't click on this thread but so glad I did. These supplements are actually affordable too...okay so maybe not so affordable LOL But they have me intrigued Whats with the mushroom ingredients gaining popularity in supplements? I noticed these have them too. My cutter friends are all crazy about this new line of supplements that are outrageously priced made from mushrooms. Gah quit quit!! I will not spend money on new saddles. I will not spend money on new saddles. "Oh look a supplement half the price of the saddle. *drools at claims on supplement label* "I must have it!" ^^^^ seriously me...every other day
Agree! One of these times I'm west of the Mississippi we will!
