Flu, equine herpesvirus, strangles: All can cause upper respiratory disease that you’d rather not see in your barn, and all can cause coughing, runny nose, and fever in horses. How can you tell which one your horse has, and what can you do to prevent these diseases? If your horse does get sick, what treatment does he need and how can you help him get well faster?
