Equine asthma is treated like asthma in humans – with corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and often bronchodilators to open the airways up during an asthma attack. Since horses can't use a puffer or metered dose inhaler the same way humans do, they need a chamber, also called a spacer, with a mask. There are many ways to help your horse get used to using their inhaler and the AeroHippus® chamber, including using treats. The AeroHippus® chamber also allows you to "puff" the inhaler medication into the chamber away from your horse to avoid making a sound your horse may not understand or like.

Easier for Horse Owners

  • Fast treatment times
  • Uncomplicated and easy to use
  • Well accepted by horses
  • Simply puff the medication into the chamber and allow your horse to breathe normally through the mask
  • As your horse inhales, the Flow-Vu* indicator moves to give you immediate visual feedback and confidence that your horse is getting the right dose

Tip

ALWAYS consult and follow the instructions of your veterinarian before giving your horse any medication! Only use inhalers as prescribed by your veterinarian.
