Equine Asthma in Horses

In this video, instructor Diana Collin (Energetic Animal Therapy) provides a comprehensive introduction to equine asthma and demonstrates, in a practical way, how the Metavital Horse System can be used to provide holistic support.

The video begins by explaining the introduction, etiology, and pathogenesis of equine asthma, as well as its various stages (mild, moderate, and severe). It also explains outdated terms such as IAD, RAO, COB, and COPD.

For mild to moderate equine asthma, this article describes the symptoms (reduced performance, rarely nasal discharge), conventional diagnostic methods (exercise testing, endoscopy, BAL), and treatment (optimizing housing conditions, mucolytics, cortisone).

In severe equine asthma, the triad (excessive mucus accumulation, structural changes, hyperreactivity), symptoms (dyspnea, steam channel, coughing, reduced performance), diagnostics (medical history, bronchoscopy, blood gas analysis), and treatment options (optimized housing, inhalation therapy, medications) are discussed in detail. Particular emphasis is placed on the importance of a dust-free environment and optimal husbandry.

A key focus is on providing support through the METAVITAL HORSE System:

• The Link Between Gut Health and Respiratory Diseases
• The Role of Secretory IgA (sIgA) as a Protective Layer for the Mucous Membranes
• Effects of Damaged Gut Flora on Lung Defense Mechanisms
• Practical Analysis and Regulation of Relevant Organ Systems (Intestines, Lungs, Immune System)

The video provides practical guidance on how to identify functional stressors and regulate them using the METAVITAL HORSE System, in order to optimally complement conventional therapy and sustainably improve the quality of life for affected horses.
