Respiratory System Test

Respiratory System Test
The Ultimate Modern Day Screening Tool
Upper and lower airway disease is a common cause of poor performance, particularly in high performance / high-intensity disciplines such as racing, eventing and polo.
Runny nose, coughs, increased breathing or long recovery times after exercise are just some of the symptoms of an uper respiratory infection. Certain times of year are prim times for reispiratory tract diseases from common pathogens including Herpes virus and Steptococcus bacteria.
The Equiscan can be used to evaluate the respiratory tract and is particularly useful in examining horses with respiratory problems and / or poor performance.
Results from the Equiscan report can provide you or your vet with new information and can also act as a pre endoscopy assessment tool.
A Pro-Active Approach
USING A NON-INVASIVE TESTING METHOD
When it comes to spotting potential respiratory issues, early detection is crucial, particularly for anyone engaged in sport horse practice. The conventional way of evaluating the respiratory tract is through an endoscopy.
Whilst Respiratory Endoscopy provides a formal diagnosis, it is a procedure that requires time & preparation. The procedure can also be unpleasant for the horse and stressful for owners who may opt for an endoscopy with slight reluctance.
The Equiscan Respiratory Wellness Test offers an attractive alternative before Respiratory Endoscopy and is available to clients across the world - it can provide you or your vet with new information and can also act as a pre-endoscopy assessment tool.
