Since it’s that time of year again🔥💨here is a little refresher and a chart for everyone to reference.
[I’ll save it in the smoke/AQI highlight]
‼️Remember🫁are soft tissues too and we don’t want to injure them because rehab takes time‼️
Other🐴 things to do when the AQI gets high —
🔹provide plenty of fresh/ clean water
🔹limit dust exposure as much as possible. This means soaking hay if needed and don’t BLOW the aisles (IYKYK)
Fans are ok if moving air and not dust; don’t use if AQI is over 300 (we don’t want outdoor air inside if possible)
🔸Saline is okay to use in your nebulizer to help keep🫁 moist and flushed out. Do not use other medications unless directed by your veterinarian. We don’t want the airway MORE open when the AQI is high.
🔺Supplements with omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin C, vitamin E and resveratrol can be helpful in decreasing inflammation and providing extra antioxidants.
▪️Side note — if your🐴 does not load in a trailer well this time of year is a good reminder that trailer loading is important — when things are🔥🫣🔥you need them to load fast!!
