RESPIRATORY SYSTEM



Nasal discharge

  • Bilateral discharge:
  • Unilateral discharge:
    • Lesion is cranial to nasal septum eg: nasal or sinus lesion; pharyngeal or guttural pouch lesion in horses.
  • Type of discharge
    • Serous
    • Catarrhal
    • Purrulent
    • Haemorrhage

Sneezing

  • Nasal


Facial swelling


Pain

  • Any location


Coughing


Dyspnoea/altered air flow

  • Respiratory noise


Epistaxis

  • Haemorrhage from the nose
  • May originate from nasopharynx or lower respiratory tract
  • Causes


  • Blood stained nose at post-mortem - terminal pulmonary congestion, oedema, haemorrhage


Dysphagia



  • Equine respiratory disease by clinical signs
    • Contains pictures and videos
    • From Equine Respiratory Diseases edited by P. Lekeux, published by the International Veterinary Information Service (IVIS)
