More Info
Whenever a horse presents with a cough you should consider his temperature, respiratory rate, respiratory character, attitude, appetite, age, environment, and nasal discharge. If the cough is accompanied by depression, copious snotty discharge, difficult breathing and/or fever he may have a choke or respiratory infection ...more.
Cough without fever is a common problem in horses and can be a challenge to diagnose. It can come on acutely or be a chronic problem. In spite of the many possible causes usually the age, history, and physical exam are all that is needed to determine the likely causes. This article helps differentiate the causes and provides links to further discussions on this subject.
