In horses
Respiratory problems in horses appear mainly during heatwaves and in the fall.
In fact, the fact of
keeping in a stable when the cold sets in, brings an overload of the ambient air with ammonia, dust and allergens from the hay.
We must therefore think about improving management! Daily cleaning of the enclosure with emphasis on urine patches, mechanical ventilation and hay that has been soaked in water for at least 2 hours are three important things to implement in your stable.
In cats
Particularly in the fall, cats have respiratory problems including runny eyes and noses, as well as coughing. It is imperative to strengthen their immune and respiratory systems because they could develop pneumonia.
Several causes can cause pneumonia in cats: a virus (coryza, herpesvirus, calicivirus, etc.); a bacteria (Bordetella, chlamydia, mycoplasma, etc.); the presence of a foreign body in the respiratory tract (twig, insect, etc.); the fungus Sporothrix spores, a parasitic mold; lungworm, a parasite which, as its name suggests, attacks the lungs.
These different microbes are the cause of diseases that damage the respiratory system. A cold snap can encourage the development of pneumonia, as the cat's defenses are weakened.
