Interested in Your Horses’ Respiratory Health?
The University of Calgary, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine is conducting exciting research in Alberta on the prevalence, risk factors and cost of equine respiratory diseases. We have now completed BAL sampling on horses across Alberta thanks to the participation of community members, but we still need your help. Respiratory disease represents the second most common reason owners seek veterinary consultation and heaves is probably the most frequent chronic respiratory disease in adult horses. How can you help? Go to www.ucalgary.ca/heaves to fill out our online questionnaire. Upon completion of the questionnaire we can send you information regarding your horse’s respiratory status. If you have any questions, please contact Andrea Wasko: heaves@ucalgary.ca or (403) 519-3712.
