Nebulization – an effective and safe therapy used for equine respiratory diseases. Equine nebulization is an often recommended method of administering medication, bringing numerous benefits to the health and well-being of our animals. With this method, we can administer the drug at a dose up to ten times lower than with traditional intravenous administration. With a lower dose of the drug, there is less risk of side effects, such as laminitis, adrenal disease or gastric ulceration.
Unlike drugs administered intravenously, nebulization works directly on the horse’s respiratory system. The drug is sprayed in the form of a fine mist containing particles of medicine. The size of the particles depends on the type of nebulizer, but if the particles are small then the deeper they reach the respiratory system and make the effect of the drug even more effective. Thanks to the tight mask, the dose of the drug goes directly to the alveoli. The process is short, painless and causes no stress to the animals.
Nebulization can be performed independently by the horse owner.
With nebulization, horses can enjoy effective therapy without unnecessary strain on the body. This is a modern approach to treatment that brings tangible benefits to the health and well-being of our pets.
