Talk:Equine Respiratory Diseases

This is a somewhat confused page, containing clinical signs (e.g. The Coughing Horse), groups of diseases (e.g. Guttural Pouch Disease), and specific disease entities (e.g. Pulmonary Abscesses). I think a more structured approach is warranted, with a combination of the above. For example, there should be a page for "The Coughing Horse", which describes differential diagnoses, and outlines a potential work up. This should exist for each particular presenting sign. There should also be specific disease entities, linked to by the presenting sign pages, and potentially also listed here under categories. I don't really see the need for an actual page on groups of diseases by anatomic location, unless it is simply to list the potential disease processes. This function is better served by categories on the main page. I'm going to make some changes, so if anyone objects let me know why here! alsiola 23:58, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
