| What does everyone use for a horse with allergies? Not bad but horse sneezes more than normal warming up and gets a dry cough every year around this time. I'm scared it might cause him to bleed. Thanks in advance!!
Edited to add: he is on Cur ost total support. (Only has been on it a month and a half)

| Curost total support works really well in these cases. |

Location: North Dakota | Have you noticed improvement with the Cur-OST? Any other signs going on? Labored breathing? Troubles recovering after exercise? I would possibly consider adding Immune into your Cur-OST program to give extra support during "allergy" season.

| My mare is a pretty heavy breather just because she gets down and dirty when she runs. The total has helped tremendously. |

| I haven't yet but I've only ran him once since him being on it and he hasn't been on it all that long. He Ran good but I notice how much he sneezes compared to other horses and now hes starting to get that dry cough (not every ride). The Longer I ride the less he sneezes. |

Did you email Dr. Schell before you ordered the Total? I would defiantly email him now with any concerns as knows his products best and their might be a better option and or an addition that will help even more.

Has your horse's cough gone away on the Cur-ost? I have a mare with seasonal allergies and the Cur-ost Total and Immune combo worked amazingly well. |

| I did email him though it was before this cough came about so I probably did not mention that. I think I will give immune a try and see how that goes or equipulmin it seems a lot of people like both of those products! |

| I have one horse on curtsy total & immune for now. It stopped the cough but now she sneezes all the time! I'm going to give it a little longer bc her bigger issue was itching in the summer. I really want to see if it will help with that be if it doesn't I'm going back to animal element immune it helped with cough w/o sneezing, she ate it better and its cheaper. I'm feeding 2 lbs of oats to get most of it down. She's getting fat she is super easy keeper.
My other horse coughs but wouldn't eat curost at all. So she is on animal element immune & I give her a cup of omega horse shine & it has helped her w her itching- she's not as bad itching as the other horse.
They only itch in the summer. I think it's going to be worse this year bc it is so green already! |

Yes Equipulmin is fantastic as well! Immune is needed in many allergy cases for 60-90 days just to get everything functioning properly. Keep us updated! |

Location: Where the long tails flow, ND | I went the allergy shot route before discovering Cur-OST on my mare. I started her on Total and Immune combined with a clean/whole foods diet and the results are fantastic. I did keep her on Immune a bit long because the weather was doing crazy things, and on super humid days I would be nervous to have her off Immune.
Now she is on Revive with 1 scoop of Total and seems to be doing great with that combo, I'm still getting her in shape and haven't made a run yet but I'm really impressed so far :) |

It took both my horses 2-3 weeks in the beginning to really take to their Cur-OST. My mare eats her super quick now that I started feeding it with 1lb of rice bran rather than oats.
Could the sneezing be because things are too dry? I've heard in some cases the airways can get too dried out but I am honestly not sure if those would be related to sneezing.

| My gelding did not want to eat it, but when I wet it down he gobbles it up.

| I wish curost was not so expensive..upwards of $300 a month to treat my horse per their recomendations. And it might not work.. |

This is what keeps me from trying it. Just not affordable when you have 2 others with their own issues.
I've been feeding THE performance w/bleeder, breather, cough and it seems to help. I do breathing treatments when needed, as well. Good old wind aid before a run. |

Location: on the fine line between insanity and geniusness | Animal element detox and immune helped mine that has allergies. I'm no longer a dealer but could pm you if you'd like. The way it was broken down and explained to me was super simple, and its soooo much better than a bunch of drugs in their system! |

| In my opinion... Stop spending hundreds on supplments and spend that money on seeing a good internal medicine/ respiratory vet. Get a scope and BAL done to see what it is exactly you are dealing with if you havent already. Then figure out a treatment/ management plan. Dont mess around with respiratory issues as they can be very devastating in the long run. I wish I would have pulled my IAD allergy horse off of hay a few years ago. The results Ive seen in the last few weeks since I have has been a miracle. Over the last few years Ive steamed his hay, treated with dex, turned him out in a run in shed at all times and fed every supplement out there. The only thing that has helped was taking him off of hay. Obviously there is other triggers for allergies but to figure out what it is it is all trial and error. Most times it is hay not just seasonal pollen.... good luck with your horse.  |
