'''A 14-year-old Thoroughbred gelding has a six-year history of a chronic cough and an intermittent nasal discharge. Thoracic auscultation revealed loud end expiratory wheezes. A tracheobronchial aspirate specimen is seen in the image.'''

*The key means of controlling COPD is by reducing the horse’s exposure to the offending agents, most often airborne dust and moulds. 
*Pharmaceutical intervention may be necessary and could include the use of bronchodilators, mucolytics and anti-inflammatory agents. 
*Bronchodilators may include drugs from these three groups:
#muscarinic receptor antagonists – parasympatholytics;
#adrenoceptor agonists – sympathomimetics; and
#methylxanthine derivates. 
*Mucokinetic drugs increase the transport of the complex and incompletely understood airway secretions by differing mechanisms. 
*Mucokinetic agents to consider in the horse include
#bromhexine,
#dembrexine,
#theophylline and
#clenbuterol. 
*Anti-inflammatory drugs primarily affect the delayed response and bronchial hyperreactivity. 
*Corticosteriods most commonly used are
#prednisolone and
#dexamethasone.
