RECURRENT AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION IN HORSES – CLINICAL AND DIAGNOSTIC ASPECTS
2014
Sabev S.
In this study are presented clinical and diagnostic approaches in horses with recurrent airway obstruction (RAO). Seven horses from different breeds and age were included in the investigation. Normal body temperature with increase of heart rate and respiratory frequency were documented. Signs of respiratory distress including tachypnea, flared nostrils, expiratory effort, nasal discharges and coughing were observed in each horse. Changes in CBC (morphology) were not present. Ultrasound and percussion of the lung revealed a caudal displacement of the abdominal border. Thoracic radiography showed some changes in the bronchial tree.
