Treatment and control
Once a horse has developed a hypersensitivity to stable dust, there is no cure. If treated
promptly, the changes are reversible but the horse remains more sensitive to respiratory
allergens than normal. Treatment involves:
• environmental control
• administration of bronchodilators to relieve the bronchospasm
• corticosteroids to reduce the inflammation
• nutritional supplementation.
