you can buy an herbal remedy for cough from jeffers or any place like that is not expensive and it works wonders on coughs we have a pony that coughs during and after she eats was told allergies but turns out she has nasal passages that are damaged from the ole blunt force trauma from early in her life. could also be worth an allergy check
Its not regular enough to be allergies...
This tends to only be when she has been run after a bit and has a 'rolling' sound to it...
Might try vics just to see about breaking up any junk in her lungs...
I dont think a regular medication thing would do much since the problem isnt regular at all....
donkeys not that I know of... she was rescued as a foal from a nasty knee deep in muck situation, and came to me cause she dropped a ton of weight 2 winters ago and looked like a walking skeleton..... the owners before me dont have donkeys, but before that well that was a long time ago but I dont think so
Lung worm no, can you explain that more and its treatment?

should give you an idea, I hope you figure it out
I am sorry that I just stumbled upon your reply, I don't treat him at all , just slow him down when he seems like he's in distress...he's an ex racer (he only raced once and didn't finish) ...his head will come up and I just say whoa... no argument ....he stops and recovers.
Sara, We use to have a mare that would develop a cough every summer, always when it was dry weather. Our mares problem was exactly as you've described. I had an equine DVM exam her, and he prescribed 'Ventipulmin Syrup'...and it worked. I only had to give maybe two or three doses, cough would stop, and she was good until the next summer.
You have to be careful with the ventipulmin, it will bring the heart rate up .
